Robert Telles, the former elected Clark County Public Administrator, was found guilty Wednesday of murdering Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative reporter Jeff German.
The jury of seven women and five men deliberated for about 12 hours before reaching the verdict.
Jurors weighed eight days of testimony from dozens of witnesses, including detectives, forensic experts, and those who knew Telles, along with three days of testimony from Telles himself. Telles gave a narrative testimony to the jury, without being interrupted by his attorney, before facing cross examination by prosecutors.
The panel of seven women and five men deliberated for four hours on Monday, about six hours on Tuesday, and two hours Wednesday, before reaching a decision. Telles’ trial stretched over two weeks before attorneys gave closing arguments on Monday morning.
