Trial Set to Begin for Politician Accused of Murdering Journalist [Video]

The trial of a former Nevada politician accused of murdering a Las Vegas investigative journalist is set to begin on Monday.

According to the Associated Press (AP), jury selection is scheduled to start on Monday in a case involving the death of Jeff German, a reporter known for his in-depth investigations into corruption, organized crime and government scandals.

German, 69, was brutally killed over Labor Day weekend in 2022. He was found stabbed to death outside his home with evidence suggesting that Robert Telles, who was serving as the Clark County Public Administrator at the time, had allegedly targeted German in retaliation for a series of articles that exposed turmoil in Telles’ office.

Telles, 47, was arrested days after German was found following the release of surveillance footage and images that linked him to the crime scene. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge of open murder and remains in jail.
