Robert Telles, charged with Jeff German’s murder, has two public defenders despite court rules saying only the indigent can get free counsel. He reported 6 properties and an income of $20k a month.
Courts
In life, Jeff German fought to protect sources. After his slaying, law enforcement and defense attorneys are fighting to obtain his devices, putting those protections at risk.
Rita Reid, a deputy in the Public Administrator’s Office, said in hindsight, a text from Robert Telles was a subtle threat. “It could have been us, it could have been me. There was a lot of anger.”
Telles, an attorney and elected Clark County’s public administrator, was arrested this week in the killing of Review-Journal reporter Jeff German.
