True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta provides insights into the surprising verdict in the case of Robert Telles, the former Clark County Administrator convicted of murdering journalist Jeff German. Motta and Brueski discuss how the jury's decision to sentence Telles to 20 years to life, with the possibility of parole after 20 years, was unexpected given the overwhelming evidence presented during the trial.

Motta critiques the implausibility of Telles' narrative and expresses bewilderment over the jury's verdict, highlighting the unpredictable nature of jury decisions and the complexities involved in seemingly straightforward cases.
