I've watched some of the trial, and I have met both Robert Telles and Jeff
German. Telles is and always has been an exceedingly weird guy. Just look at him
and you can see that he is crazy.
Jeff German was a good guy. A real old-school, crusty kind of reporter who was
respected by everyone. I liked him.
Telles' defense was absurd. He's guilty AF. Telles is correct, though, about the
shady dealings of the company that he alleges is framing him for the murder
along with others. That company was ripping off heirs. But no, they didn't kill
Jeff German and frame him for the murder or seize the opportunity to frame him
after some other unknown person killed German.

Nutshell Version is:
Telles murdered German. There's video of him driving over there in his wife's
SUV. Video showed the murderer walking around. The police found the shoes and
straw hat that he was wearing, all cut up, in his house. They also found his DNA
under German's fingernails.
Telles claims that he is not a murderer and it's a frame job, see, I didn't do
it, see.

As expected, he was found guilty of First Degree Murder. I'm just surprised that
the jurors took so many hours to deliberate.

Wow we should get together! Maybe we have similar interests in common.
Telles is a huge weirdo. Love how he switched to the spanish pronounciation of
double l. Should have started calling himself Roberto.
He wore lifts in his shoes to make himself 6 foot 5
It's amazing that these kinds of people are able to occupy positions of relative
influence.

Andy, you should watch his testimony which was done in narrative form. He is not
only crazy but also an idiot.

You are right p&c, how sweet of a deal is it to get 100% of the county's probate
real estate sales business. That is wild. Las vegas is a dirty town.

The funny part about his defense was, if indeed conpass really framed him with a
hired impersonator assassin etc, wouldn't that just draw more attention to what
is going on inside the probate dept? Now everyone knows the scam because of the
murder. If they are sophisticated enough to hire killers in identical vehicles
and disguises, and plant DNA evidence, couldn't they just run him over or
something?

Sitting through the entire testimony is also worthwhile, just to see what a dumb
ass that man is
He will end up trying to kill himself in prison and will fail - because he is
that kind of loser and won't even be able to off himself properly

It wouldn't surprise me at all if he kills himself. The guy has had a huge ego,
unjustifiably so, since at least law school, based on what I know of him. He was
the Clark County Public Administrator, which is a really obscure office that
hardly anyone understands or cares about. But he fancied himself an
up-and-coming Democrat star and he clearly wanted to rise up the ladder and be
somebody. Unfortunately for him, his ruinous receding hairline doomed him before
he was even out of his 20s.

That testifying by narrative thing was an awful idea. Testifying at all was an
awful idea. Robert Draskovich, Telles's lawyer, is well-respected as one of the
better criminal defense attorneys in Vegas. Telles should have listened to his
advice. He actually should have just taken a plea deal and been done with it.
One other thing -- I think the jury was too lenient with the sentence. I think
the case called for life without the possibility of parole, not life with the
possibility of parole after 20 years. I'm hoping the judge is harsh when Telles
is sentenced for the enhancements of deadly weapon and elderly victim.

That's true.
Also, what kind of person wears lifts to make himself 10.5 inches taller? He is
5'6.5" and wore lifts to make him 6'5". I'd like to be 6'9" like TI and Michael
Crichton (RIP), but that seems more than a little excessive.

He is 5'6"?? R u serious? I got that he was 6 5 with lifts but didn't realize
they were so huge. That's like Herman munster stuff. What a weirdo.

Discussion of Telles in high school, by his cousin:
In a recent telephone interview with the Review-Journal from his home in
Washington state, Santino Telles recalled the nerdy younger cousin he used to
spend Christmases with as a child in El Paso.
“He was never the jock,” Santino Telles said. “He didn’t date pretty
girls. He had self-esteem issues. He was very nerdy, reserved and quirky.”

Do u know how I can get a job like Telles? It sounds like an awesome gig.
Collect overtime driving around and appraising dead people's property. Probably
get a county car or write off your own vehicle use. He kept boning his
subordinate at Las Vegas premium outlets because he could come and go as he
pleased.

This was a hilarious analysis of body language. They basically made fun of his
testimony and personality for 2 hours, with a body language/ interrogation point
of view.
Conclusion was, he is an idiot.

There is a part in his testimony where he is being questioned about the cut up
shoe under his couch. Lol.
But anyway as he is discussing this, he is sitting stiffly with his hand on his
chin. They made fun of that for a while, how it looked like someone who had
watched YouTube interrogation videos.
But anyway the swivel chair jumped and he popped up about 4 inches. He was so
wooden that he didn't even react to it. They laughed at that too.like he was so
focused on lying that a jumping chair didn't even chase him.

To be the Public Administrator, you have to run for the office. It's such an
obscure office that almost nobody outside the legal world has any idea what
duties are performed by the Public Administrator. Because it's an elected
office, the boss doesn't get any overtime. But you do get a car ... and the
affections of certain underlings, apparently.
Being an elected county official is not a bad gig. If you are so inclined, you
can choose not to work very hard, especially if you have a competent staff who
can do most or all the work for you. The only way you can be ousted is if the DA
chooses to file a petition to have you removed for malfeasance or nonfeasance.
