With The Killers Outfit In His Garage, How Will Robert Telles Fight His Case?

In this podcast episode, Tony Brueski and former prosecutor Eric Faddis discuss the trial of Robert Telles, a former public official in Las Vegas, accused of murdering investigative reporter Jeff German. German had been investigating Telles and exposed alleged corruption in his office, leading to a contentious relationship between the two. After Telles lost his re-election bid, German was found dead, and Telles is now facing charges for the crime. The conversation explores the evidence against Telles, including surveillance footage and DNA found under German’s fingernails, both of which are highly incriminating. Faddis discusses the defense’s potential strategy of claiming the evidence was planted, but he notes the difficulty in substantiating such a claim. The episode also delves into Telles’ suspicious behavior, such as cutting up items linked to the crime, and the possibility of the prosecution using Telles’ gait as seen on video as part of their case. Faddis concludes that the evidence presents a significant challenge for the defense, making it hard for the jury to accept a framing argument. **Main Points:** - Robert Telles is on trial for the murder of reporter Jeff German, who had been investigating Telles for corruption. - Key evidence includes surveillance footage, DNA found under German’s fingernails, and items linked to the crime found in Telles' home. - The defense may argue that the evidence was planted, but this claim might be difficult to substantiate. - Telles’ behavior, including cutting up items related to the crime, suggests a consciousness of guilt. - The prosecution may use Telles' gait, seen on surveillance footage, as evidence in court. - The case raises questions about public corruption and the dangers faced by investigative journalists. **Hashtags:** #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #LasVegasMurder #InvestigativeJournalism #CourtroomDrama #PublicCorruption #EricFaddis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
