LAS VEGAS (AP) — The first week of the murder trial of a former politician has ended in Las Vegas. The jury set to decide Robert Telles' guilt has seen video of a fatal ambush that killed investigative reporter Jeff German. A forensic scientist also testified Friday that Telles' DNA was found under the victim's fingernails. The jury was also shown surveillance footage of the suspect driving through German's neighborhood in a maroon SUV like one a Review-Journal photographer saw Telles washing outside his home several days after German's death. German was found stabbed to death outside his home in 2022. Prosecutors say articles he wrote about Telles and his leadership in a lower-level district office provided a motive for the killing.
