Robert Telles on trial over murder of Jeff German, who wrote critical articles about the public administrator

A Las Vegas politician accused of murdering a local investigative journalist who wrote critical articles about him took the stand in his own defense on Wednesday, giving his testimony in narrative style, without being asked questions.

Right now I want to say unequivocally: I'm innocent. I didn't kill Mr German. And I've got a lot to share with you all," said Robert Telles, a former Clark county public administrator.
