Ex-official charged with murder of Las Vegas journalist says he was framed

washington — A former Nevada official accused of murdering a Las Vegas journalist doubled down in court Thursday on his claims that he is being framed. "I am not the kind of person who would stab someone. I would never beat anybody up," Robert Telles, a former Clark County public administrator, told the jury. Telles is on trial in the killing of Las Vegas Review-Journal journalist Jeff German. The 69-year-old investigative reporter was found stabbed to death outside his suburban Las Vegas home on September 3, 2022.
