‘Willful, Deliberate, Premeditated’: Jury Finds Former Democratic Official Guilty of Murdering Reporter

A jury found a former Democratic Las Vegas elected official guilty of murdering a reporter Wednesday.

Robert Telles, 47, the former Clark County Public Administrator, was found guilty of first-degree murder over the death of Jeff German, who was a reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, according to the outlet.

German was stabbed to death on Sept.2, 2022. Tellas had lost the Democratic primary in June 2022, a failure that was attributed partly to German’s articles about alleged misconduct, CNN reported. German had written on allegations that Tellas had engaged in an “inappropriate relationship” with a “staffer” and fostered a “hostile work environment.”

The jury found the murder was “willful, deliberate, and premeditated,” according to a video shared to Twitter.

The jury unanimously found Telles guilty of 1st degree murder with use of a deadly weapon, victim 60 or older.
