Dem Vegas politician accused of journalist murder testifies: 'Unequivocally I'm innocent'
Fox News
A former Democratic politician has declared he's innocent of killing veteran Las Vegas reporter Jeff German, who had penned critical stories about the official.
Telles, a former Democratic Clark County administrator of estates, is charged with murdering Las Vegas Review-Journal investigative journalist Jeff German in September 2022, just months after German wrote unflattering articles about Telles and his workplace conduct, including allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a female coworker. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
German was found slashed and stabbed to death in a side yard outside his home, where Telles is accused in a criminal complaint of "lying in wait" for German to come outside. You can send tips to michael.dorgan@fox.com and follow him on Twitter @M_Dorgan.
