Courts
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.
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.”
The Clark County official accused of murdering investigative reporter Jeff German was arrested at his home after a fight with his wife, who hid in a room and called police.
Telles, an attorney and elected Clark County’s public administrator, was arrested this week in the killing of Review-Journal reporter Jeff German.
