Why Would ANYONE Have Empathy For Robert Telles?

True Crime Today | A True Crime Podcast

On 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer discussed the conviction of Robert Telles for the murder of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German. Telles was found guilty but is eligible for parole after 20 years, a verdict that raised eyebrows due to the apparent clarity of the evidence. Coffindaffer speculated that there might have been holdouts among the jurors, particularly around the interpretation of video evidence showing Telles in a blaze orange vest and a large hat, possibly to disguise himself as a construction worker. The conversation delved into the complexities of jury deliberations, suggesting that some jurors may have been swayed by empathy or the confusion surrounding the evidence rather than a straightforward assessment of guilt. They also discussed the influence of Telles’s personality and whether his ability to speak for an extended period about his perceived grievances impacted the jury's decision. The conversation highlighted concerns about how certain narratives might sway jurors, the importance of presenting clear and compelling evidence, and the psychological dynamics that can come into play during a trial.
