Robert Telles, a county official and alleged murderer of Las Vegas journalist Jeff German, denied bail at first court appearance
LAS VEGAS — Nevada elected county official Robert Telles was denied bail in his first court appearance on Thursday for allegedly murdering Las Vegas journalist Jeff German last Friday.Prosecutors say physical evidence shows that German fought back against his attacker, which may have been the key to tracking down a suspect.
"A conviction is likely," prosecutor Richard Scow said. He also later asked the court to deny the bond, arguing the facts of the case demanded Telles remain behind bars. "Ruined his political career, likely his marriage, and this was him lashing out," Scow said."The defendant lashing out at the cause of the unraveling of his life at this point. So we're asking that he be held no bail."
