What happens when a defense strategy leans heavily on a narrative that defies reality? Defense Attorney Bob Motta and Tony Brueski unravel the perplexing approaches of defendants like Robert Telles, who attempted to spin a tale that flew in the face of overwhelming evidence—evidence that included the murder weapon's remnants found in his garage. Is it delusion, desperation, or something else entirely? The episode delves into comparisons with other infamous trials, such as Charlie Adelson's and Lori Vallow Daybell's, where the art of storytelling met the harsh reality of a courtroom. Motta sheds light on the difficult role defense attorneys play when their clients are set on self-sabotage, revealing the nuanced dance between ethical obligations and the client's constitutional rights. And speaking of Lori Vallow Daybell, what's with her sudden desire to shed the "Daybell" from her name? Does it point to a strategy, or is it just another twist in her bizarre saga? Will Vallow's decision to represent herself seal her fate? And if the truth is stranger than fiction, how much stranger can her courtroom antics get? #TrueCrime #RobertTelles #LoriVallowDaybell #CharlieAdelson #DefenseDiaries #CriminalTrial #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Robert Telles, a former Democratic official in Las Vegas, has been sentenced to at least 28 years in a Nevada state prison for the murder of Jeff German, an investigative journalist with the *Las Vegas Review-Journal*, who was killed in 2022. Telles, 47, was convicted in August of first-degree murder, with the sentence enhanced by the judge due to his use of a deadly weapon and the age of his victim, who was 69 at the time of his death. Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson, speaking after the sentencing, noted the severity of the sentence. "The judge couldn't sentence him to any more time," Wolfson remarked. "She gave him the maximum." The sentence includes a minimum term of 20 years to life, extended by an additional eight years due to the aggravating factors. The motive behind German's murder stemmed from a series of articles he wrote in 2022, where he exposed misconduct and turmoil within Telles' office, as well as a romantic relationship between Telles and a female employee. Telles, who at the time managed the Clark County Public Administrator/Guardian office, faced significant backlash and ultimately lost his primary election for a second term. Following German's reporting, Telles was arrested, stripped of his position, and had his law license suspended. At trial, Telles denied the charges, testifying that he was framed by a conspiracy involving various entities, including a real estate company, law enforcement, and DNA analysts. Despite his claims, substantial evidence led to his conviction, including DNA matching his profile found under German's fingernails and surveillance footage showing a person in an outfit resembling Telles'. Prosecutor Pamela Weckerly argued that Telles killed German because "he didn't like what Mr. German had written about him" and felt the reporting cost him his elected position. "This type of violence, this sort of political violence, is unacceptable and dangerous for a community as a whole," Weckerly emphasized. During the trial, evidence presented included footage of a person wearing a broad straw hat and an orange shirt, identified as the suspected killer, lurking near German's residence on the day of the murder. Investigators later discovered a maroon SUV matching the description of a vehicle seen in the footage at Telles' residence, as well as remnants of a straw hat and athletic shoe similar to those worn by the individual seen in the video. After his conviction, Telles offered his condolences to German's family but continued to deny responsibility for the crime. "I understand the desire to seek justice and hold somebody accountable for this," he stated in court. "But I did not kill Mr. German." Telles' defense attorney, Robert Draskovich, requested leniency from the court, mentioning that Telles intends to appeal. "The sentence was not surprising," Draskovich said afterward. "We fulfilled our defense obligation. We parted on good terms. [Telles] preserved all his rights for appeal." Draskovich subsequently withdrew from the case following the sentencing. German's death marked the only murder of a journalist in the United States in 2022, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, which has documented 17 killings of media workers in the U.S. since 1992. He was a respected journalist with 44 years of experience reporting on crime, courts, and political corruption in Las Vegas. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Robert Telles, the former Clark County Public Administrator found guilty of murdering investigative journalist Jeff German, will soon face his final sentencing. Telles, who was convicted in August for repeatedly stabbing German, faces life in prison with the potential for parole after 20 years. However, the final decision on his sentence rests with District Judge Michelle Leavitt, who will decide how sentence enhancements will impact the length of his prison term. Telles was found guilty of first-degree murder with a deadly weapon against a victim aged 60 or older. The enhancement allows Judge Leavitt to adjust the minimum time Telles will spend in prison before being eligible for parole. This addition could extend his minimum term by anywhere from one to eight years, meaning he might face between 19 and 26 years before parole eligibility, considering the two years he has already spent in jail since his arrest. On Wednesday, both sides will have the opportunity to make their final arguments. Telles' attorney, Robert Draskovich, is expected to advocate for a lesser sentence, while prosecutors aim to emphasize Telles' lack of remorse. Throughout his trial, Telles has maintained his innocence, claiming he was framed and denying any involvement in German's murder. During the sentencing phase of the trial, German's family provided insights into the journalist's legacy. German moved from Milwaukee to Las Vegas to work for the *Las Vegas Sun* before joining the *Review-Journal*, where he made a name for himself covering organized crime and engaging in numerous investigative projects. His sister, Julie Smith, shared that German had an almost photographic memory, a keen eye for reporting, and a deep love for sports. German's brother added that even at 69, German had “no interest in retiring,” demonstrating a lifelong dedication to journalism. “Jeff was deeply committed to his work, to exposing the truth,” Smith said. “He loved his family, and he loved what he did.” Although Telles has consistently denied responsibility for the murder, prosecutors argue that the crime was motivated by German's investigative articles that shed light on Telles' alleged misconduct as a public official. These reports examined claims of workplace hostility and ethical concerns during Telles' time as Clark County Public Administrator. Draskovich has stated that Telles intends to appeal the case, although he did not respond to recent requests for additional comment. German's family and supporters are now awaiting the final sentence, which could keep Telles in prison for decades. His case underscores the risks journalists face when reporting on controversial topics, especially those related to public corruption and misconduct. Telles will have a chance to address the judge on Wednesday before his final sentence is issued. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A Clark County judge has denied convicted murderer Robert Telles' request for a hearing to explore potential juror misconduct during his trial. Telles, a former Las Vegas politician, was convicted on Aug. 28 of murdering investigative journalist Jeff German in 2022. The jury sentenced him to serve 20 years to life in prison. Telles' legal team, led by attorney Robert Draskovich, had filed a motion asking for an evidentiary hearing, citing concerns about the jury's deliberation process. According to the motion, one of the jurors disclosed that the jury had been deadlocked at a pivotal moment in the trial. "We informed the judge that it was 11 to one, we're a hung jury, and the marshal came back and informed us what the judge said was to keep working,” Juror No. 6 told reporters in an anonymous interview following the trial. Despite the jury's initial deadlock, they eventually reached a unanimous verdict, finding Telles guilty of the brutal murder of German, who was well-known for his investigative reporting on corruption in Las Vegas, including pieces on Telles himself. German, a seasoned reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, was found stabbed to death outside his home in September 2022. In his request for a hearing, Telles' attorney argued that the jury's deadlock and the judge's instructions to continue deliberations warranted further examination. Draskovich called for the jurors to be questioned to “clarify, supplement, and protect” the trial record. The defense also raised concerns about comments made by a juror regarding the weather on the day of the murder and the significance of the case for journalism. However, prosecutors argued that questioning jurors about their internal deliberations would be improper. Citing state and federal laws, they emphasized that jurors' thought processes during deliberations cannot be used to challenge a verdict. “Calling jurors in to discuss this matter at an evidentiary hearing would be improper as it clearly falls within ambit of delving into a juror's internal thought process at some point of the deliberation,” prosecutors stated in their response. Judge Michelle Leavitt, who presided over the trial, agreed with the prosecution and denied the request for a hearing. She ruled that there was no legal basis for further inquiry into the jury's deliberations. While the jury has already sentenced Telles for German's murder, Judge Leavitt will still need to sentence him for additional charges, including the use of a deadly weapon and the fact that German was over 60 years old at the time of the crime. Telles' sentencing on these enhancements is scheduled for Oct. 16. The case, which drew national attention due to the high-profile nature of both the victim and the accused, continues to resonate, particularly in the journalism community. German's work had exposed several controversies in Las Vegas, including his investigations into Telles' misconduct in his role as a public administrator. Telles maintains his innocence and has vowed to appeal the conviction. However, with the denial of his request for a hearing, his legal options are becoming increasingly limited as he awaits the final sentencing. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke discusses the trial of Robert Telles, who is accused of murdering journalist Jeff German. Dreeke criticizes Telles' defense strategy, particularly his attempt to promote a convoluted conspiracy theory involving a real estate agency and numerous entities allegedly plotting to frame him. Dreeke argues that this theory lacks credibility, noting that the idea of multiple parties risking their reputations and safety to frame Telles, a relatively unknown public administrator, is implausible. He points out that Telles' belief in such a conspiracy reveals his inflated sense of self-importance. Dreeke also highlights the unlikelihood of any extensive conspiracy, explaining that murder-for-hire plots typically unravel when more than two people are involved due to human error and the unhealthy mental states of those involved. The discussion concludes with Dreeke questioning Telles' competence as both a defendant and a lawyer, suggesting that his failure to provide any substantial case law or examples to support his defense further undermines his credibility. - Robin Dreeke critiques Robert Telles' conspiracy theory defense as lacking credibility and coherence. - Telles' theory suggests multiple entities conspired to frame him for the murder of Jeff German, which Dreeke finds implausible. - Dreeke highlights that Telles' inflated self-importance is evident in his belief that many would risk everything to frame him. - The podcast discusses the inherent flaws in conspiracy theories, especially involving multiple people who are likely to make mistakes. - Dreeke points out the lack of concrete evidence or precedent in Telles' defense strategy. - The conversation underscores Telles' poor performance on the stand and questions his abilities as a lawyer. - The podcast provides insight into why the jury might be skeptical of Telles' far-fetched narrative. #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #ConspiracyTheory #CourtroomStrategy #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillersPodcast #TrueCrimeAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the latest episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke provides analysis on the testimony of Robert Telles, who is accused of murdering journalist Jeff German. Dreeke highlights several inconsistencies in Telles' statements, noting that his testimony is filled with vague language and noncommittal answers, which Dreeke interprets as attempts to avoid the truth. Telles' recounting of his activities on the day of the murder, such as "going for a walk" or "watching TV or working," lacks specificity and is inconsistent with his usual behavior patterns, raising suspicion. Dreeke also discusses Telles' use of unusual speech patterns and "word blocking" when discussing uncomfortable topics like his extramarital affair, suggesting these are indicators of deception. Furthermore, Telles' admission that he lied about the extent of his relationship with Roberta Lee points to an attempt to control the narrative around his actions. Dreeke concludes that Telles' behaviors, both verbal and nonverbal, demonstrate significant signs of stress and potential deception, particularly when discussing sensitive subjects. He emphasizes the importance of detecting deviations from normal behavior patterns as key in understanding whether someone is being truthful or deceptive. - Robin Dreeke analyzes Robert Telles' courtroom testimony and behavior for signs of deception. - Telles' vague and non-specific language about his activities on the day of Jeff German's murder is seen as suspicious. - Dreeke identifies "word blocking" and tempo shifts in Telles' speech as indicators of discomfort or dishonesty. - Telles admitted to lying about his affair with Roberta Lee, adding to suspicions about his overall credibility. - Dreeke emphasizes the importance of detecting deviations from normal behavior to assess truthfulness. - The analysis highlights the inconsistencies in Telles' statements as potential evidence of his involvement in the crime. - Dreeke suggests Telles' behavior demonstrates significant stress and potential deception under scrutiny. #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #CourtroomTestimony #DeceptionAnalysis #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillersPodcast #TrueCrimeAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Laurie Gilbertson analyzes the trial of Robert Telles, who was found guilty of murdering journalist Jeff German. The conversation focuses on Telles's bizarre defense strategy, which involved promoting a conspiracy theory that numerous entities, including law enforcement and the public administrator's office, were willing to kill a journalist to frame him. This strategy highlighted Telles's inflated sense of self-importance and narcissism, which was evident in his facial expressions and courtroom behavior. Despite the clear lack of evidence supporting his conspiracy claims, the jury took two days to reach a guilty verdict, reflecting the complexity of juror deliberations. The discussion also touches on the unpredictable nature of jury decisions and the psychological nuances involved, such as potential empathy towards defendants who take the stand. Telles's courtroom antics, including wearing a costume that resembled a Halloween outfit, seemed to have played a role in his relatively light sentence.

The podcast ends with a discussion about Telles's future in prison, suggesting that his personality traits may lead to further complications or even allow him to exploit his legal background. - Robert Telles was found guilty of murdering journalist Jeff German. - Telles's defense strategy included an unfounded conspiracy theory, revealing his narcissistic traits. - The jury's deliberation took two days despite the apparent lack of evidence supporting Telles's claims. - Telles's courtroom behavior and conspiracy theories highlighted his distorted sense of reality. - The discussion explores the complexity of jury dynamics and the unpredictable nature of their decisions. - Telles's eccentric behavior, such as wearing a costume, may have influenced his lighter sentence. - The podcast considers how Telles's personality and legal background might affect his life in prison. #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #ConspiracyTheory #CourtroomDrama #JuryDeliberation #LegalStrategy #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the surprising verdict in the trial of Robert Telles, who was convicted of murdering Las Vegas reporter Jeff German. Faddis and Brueski express shock at the jury's decision to sentence Telles to life with the possibility of parole after 20 years, considering the overwhelming evidence against him. They delve into the peculiarities of jury deliberations, highlighting that two jurors were reportedly fixated on the fact that Telles wore a wig as part of a disguise, leading to a compromise verdict rather than a full life sentence. Faddis criticizes the implausibility of Telles' defense theory, which suggested a convoluted conspiracy involving a real estate company and a hitman. Both Faddis and Brueski underscore the unpredictability of jury decisions and question whether the jurors fully understood the absurdity of the defense's claims.

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," Laurie Gilbertson discusses the unusual narrative testimony given by Robert Telles, who was found guilty of murdering journalist Jeff German. Telles, a former attorney himself, chose to present his story directly to the jury, a rare move in criminal trials. Gilbertson explains that narrative testimony allows a defendant to speak freely without their lawyer's guidance, often because the attorney may suspect or know the testimony could be false. Telles used his time on the stand to push a bizarre narrative involving professional assassins wearing conspicuous clothing, a claim that baffled the court. This strategy raised questions about his grasp on reality and his intention to portray himself as being framed. Gilbertson highlights how the prosecutor managed to counter Telles's claims effectively by focusing on factual inconsistencies and the absurdity of his story. The podcast underscores the challenges and frustrations faced by prosecutors in dealing with defendants who choose to create their own narratives in court, as well as the importance of maintaining control during cross-examination to ensure that only credible evidence is considered by the jury. - Robert Telles, found guilty of murdering Jeff German, gave a rare narrative testimony in court. - Narrative testimony allows defendants to tell their story directly, often without their attorney's active participation. - Telles, a former attorney, insisted on presenting his own version of events, claiming a conspiracy involving professional assassins. - His testimony was filled with bizarre claims, such as assassins drawing attention to themselves with bright clothing. - The prosecutor effectively countered Telles's narrative by highlighting its absurdity and factual inconsistencies. - The discussion highlights the prosecutor's need to manage courtroom dynamics and counter unfounded narratives. - Telles's choice of narrative testimony and his bizarre defense strategy raised doubts about his credibility and mental state. #JeffGerman #RobertTelles #NarrativeTestimony #CourtroomStrategy #LegalAnalysis #ProsecutionChallenges #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a discussion on "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke analyzes Robert Telles' behavior during his trial for the murder of Jeff German. Dreeke critiques Telles' use of language, highlighting how he avoids direct denials and instead uses phrases like "I'd like to think I wouldn't do that," which suggests a lack of sincerity and truthfulness. He observes that Telles' body language, including defensive postures like holding his fist near his chin, indicates discomfort and attempts to conceal his true emotions. Dreeke compares Telles' behavior to other high-profile defendants, noting similarities to Lori Vallow's delusions but describing Telles as a higher-functioning sociopath. He argues that Telles' apparent belief in his own false narrative is characteristic of someone with a serious disconnect from reality, possibly edging towards psychopathy. Dreeke also discusses the implications of Telles' actions and speech patterns, suggesting that his lack of empathy and emotional connection to others reveals his psychological state. The conversation underscores the importance of analyzing both verbal and nonverbal cues to understand a defendant's mindset and potential guilt. - Robin Dreeke critiques Robert Telles' language and behavior as indicative of dishonesty and lack of sincerity. - Telles frequently uses non-committal phrases instead of outright denials, suggesting he is not fully truthful. - Dreeke highlights Telles' defensive body language, such as holding his fist to his chin, as signs of discomfort. - The podcast compares Telles' behavior to that of Lori Vallow, but notes Telles' higher cognitive functioning. - Dreeke suggests Telles may be a high-functioning sociopath, lacking empathy and emotional connections. - Telles' behavior reflects a potential disconnect from reality and an overconfidence in his fabricated narrative. - The discussion emphasizes the value of behavioral analysis in courtroom settings to assess a defendant's credibility and mental state. #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #BehavioralAnalysis #RobinDreeke #TrueCrime #CourtroomBehavior #PsychopathyAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott explores the emotional dynamics of Robert Telles during his trial for the murder of Jeff German. Scott discusses Telles' courtroom behavior, particularly his emotional display when he tearfully described his failed suicide attempt. She interprets this as an attempt to control the narrative and gain sympathy from the jury, rather than a genuine expression of remorse or grief. Scott introduces the concept of "narcissistic collapse," explaining that when narcissists face exposure or humiliation, they often react dramatically, seeking sympathy and attention rather than reflecting on their actions. She suggests that Telles' actions in court, including his focus on his own suffering rather than the victim, are characteristic of this psychological phenomenon. Scott also discusses how this collapse can lead to violent or erratic behavior, as seen in Telles' alleged actions against German. The conversation sheds light on the complexities of narcissistic behavior and its potential impact on legal outcomes. - Shavaun Scott analyzes Robert Telles' courtroom behavior and emotional displays. - Telles' crying in court is seen as an attempt to gain sympathy and control the narrative. - Scott introduces the concept of "narcissistic collapse," a reaction to exposure or humiliation. - Narcissistic collapse often leads to dramatic displays seeking attention rather than self-reflection. - Telles' behavior aligns with characteristics of narcissistic collapse, focusing on his own suffering. - The discussion links Telles' alleged violence to this psychological phenomenon. - Insights are provided on how narcissistic behavior might affect jury perception and legal proceedings. #RobertTelles #JeffGerman #NarcissisticCollapse #ShavaunScott #CourtroomDrama #PsychologyInCourt #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
