Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary

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. The discussion reflects on the complexities of the legal system and the challenges in anticipating jury behavior.
