Robert Telles’ Trial: Was It Narcissism or Arrogance That Led to Jeff German’s Murder?
True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast - A podcast by Real Story Media - Tuesdays
In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discusses the defense strategy in the Robert Telles trial, where Telles is accused of murdering investigative journalist Jeff German. The defense is attempting to create doubt by questioning the integrity of the investigation, a common tactic when the evidence is strong. Coffindaffer explains that the defense will likely focus on minor errors or inconsistencies in the investigation to distract the jury from the overwhelming evidence, including DNA found under the victim's fingernails and video evidence linking Telles to the crime. The conversation highlights Telles' potential testimony, with Coffindaffer predicting that his overly expressive demeanor, likely a result of learned narcissistic behavior, will be his downfall if he takes the stand. The discussion also draws parallels to other high-profile cases, where individuals with similar traits have failed to convincingly portray genuine emotions, ultimately revealing their guilt. Coffindaffer notes that while Telles may try to elicit sympathy by portraying himself as a victim of the system, his lack of genuine emotion could backfire, leading to a conviction. **Main Points:** - The defense in Robert Telles' trial is attempting to create doubt by questioning the integrity of the investigation. - The defense will likely focus on minor errors to distract from the strong evidence, including DNA and video links. - Telles' learned narcissistic behavior may lead to his downfall if he testifies. - Parallels are drawn to other high-profile cases where a lack of genuine emotion reveals guilt. - Telles may try to portray himself as a victim, but his lack of genuine emotion could lead to a conviction. #Hashtags: #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #DNAEvidence #NarcissisticBehavior #TrialStrategy #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrime Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
