Does Robert Telles Believe His Own Lies?

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

In the podcast "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke discusses the ongoing trial of Robert Telles, who is accused of murdering journalist Jeff German. Dreeke shares his insights into Telles' testimony, which he finds puzzling and ineffective. Telles took the stand in his own defense, but instead of garnering sympathy, he appeared arrogant and unlikable, believing that his narrative would sway the jury despite overwhelming evidence against him, including DNA, video footage, and a significant digital footprint. Dreeke highlights Telles’ narcissistic behavior, his attempt to construct a complex alibi, and his misguided belief that he could outsmart the jury and the court. The conversation emphasizes how Telles’ decision to testify may have further damaged his case, as his testimony was more about self-promotion than addressing the charges against him.
