If I was on the jury and I heard that opening statement I would be so mad I had to sit through a few weeks of testimony. He should have taken a plea the evidence is overwhelming
He's too arrogant to ever do that and I'm actually fine with that because now he is more likely to get a sentence that he deserves. He shouldn't be given a plea deal. He needs to spend the rest of his life in prison.
I’d like to personally thank the defendant for making sure his crimes were so well documented. As well as doing such a great job leaving critical evidence available and fairly easy to discover by law enforcement.
@cat 2:15 hyprosser1050 my only issue with the opening statement is that his neighbor went over and found him the morning of the 3rd and thought he had a medical episode. How would anyone think he had a medical episode if he were stabbed to death? Where's the blood?
He actually drew attention to himself with his unusual clothing, he wore his usual shoes, and drove his own distinct car to and from the crime scene. He really helped police solve the murder.
Wasn't that hat still intact but cut into pieces when the police searched his home? Why didn't he dispose of it promptly (ie. like immediately after he killed the reporter)?
That outfit might've been the only smart thing he did since the entire ensemble was common attire for outdoor/yard workers in crazy hot Vegas weather: the temperature on 9/2/22 would reach 110° by the afternoon.
That "man in the yellow hat" disguise brought me back to my childhood reading Curious George books. Everything about his ingenious 'plan', leaving evidence around his house, returning to the scene etc... was so astonishingly brainless that it would actually be hilarious, if not for the poor victim.
It was his wife's car. If he had driven his own car, all of his employees and all of his business contacts would have recognized it instantly. However, a realtor whom he worked with frequently, shopped at the same grocery store as Telles and had seen him driving his wife's car while shopping. That realtor reported that fact to the police, along with the fact that the unique gait of the perp as seen in the video matched Telles' own strange gait.
Thumb Head listening to the prosecutions opening statement was pure comedy. I really hope this narcissist takes the stand, very soon he’ll be back dressed in orange! What a waste of taxpayers $
Wow! When they played the news report he walks exactly like the assassin! If I was a jury member I’d make my decision of guilt immediately. The walk is obviously identical.
Long time for a Justice. Death penalty or life in prison. All the evidence is there. Congratulations to our Las Vegas police, investigators and all the homeowners with cameras, Google Maps. Thank you for your hard work. You did an amazing job.
He butchered that dude on video, then pulled up in his suv . This dude is the dumbest murderer in the history of murdering. No matter what that dude wore, he walks funny. Both his colleagues identified the orange hat man by the way he walked. Plus, he’s a little dude.
This defendant is a classic example of a true politician. A blatant shameless liar and in this case a narcissist who thinks he committed the perfect crime.
@@susanshew2373A judge he had earlier was smacking her gum during court proceedings. Not sure if it's the same judge that's over the actual trial though.
Im so impressed about the investigators’ documentation of everything. Those cameras are sent from heaven for them! This defendants smug is so annoying esp when he crunchies his face like as if this is soooo new to him…. Or maybe im reading him wrong, he was probably shocked how st*pid he was!
How did the killer know the victim would go to the side of his house? Also, it's pretty foolish to commit a crime like that and not dispose of what one wore at the time of the crime. Hiding it under the reclining sofa? It's as if he wanted to get caught.
Telles called out to him. German recognized that it was someone he had interviewed before, and who was the subject of his current investigation. It was natural for him to respond.
This is probably the best opening l've ever heard. No extraneous information. Every statement backed up with solid evidence. So sad to see by the neighbours surveillance that, the reporter was killed in almost plain view of the street in broad daylight. If it weren't for the fact that someone died this man's inept attempt at covering his tracks would be comical.
Either video ( cameras on homes, businesses or the streets, TikTokers) or some other form of electronic witness (cellphones, internet searches) will record deviant/criminal behaviors. People need to just chill.
Yeah, also I think that, especially older people, don’t realise how much info they leave when using any electronic device. Or being even near someone’s WiFi. They just don’t know
He's married but acts little feminine lol he's a Weird individual. Everytime they get to truth parts he then goes into being defensive He's lying Guilty.
I don't understand how there was no blood found in Tellas' car.... If the assassin got in immediately after the (stabbing) murder. Also, how did Tellas' DNA get under the victim fingernails if the assassin was fully clothed and covered from head to toe. These details are a little vague to me.
Unreal. The videos on all the houses and businesses the detectives got, followed Telles from the time he left his neighborhood, drove through German’s , walked, back and forth, then to his suv, back to make sure German deceased, and scurries off. He parked his suv in front of German’s in the end still wearing the disguise! This is so bizarre! Covered his back license plate.then pulled cover off to show plate once done and going home. Psycho. Bizarre behavior wearing the vest and all and returning to the scene of the crime. Wow.
If I had to take a guess, Tellis is dressed as a yard worker, so he called out to German to get his attention and he went that way to investigate what a random person was doing in his yard and was attacked
@@angiewalsh8391 This comment reminded me of a Columbo moment. Telles being a bit of a self important guy-- would probably tell what he did, by some investigator saying, "The killer must have been a genius to get the victim to come out like that! I wonder what he did to achieve that, it was purely phenomenal!" And then the ego would force Telles to "suggest" what clever ploy did the trick.
If I was on the jury and I heard that opening statement I would be so mad I had to sit through a few weeks of testimony. He should have taken a plea the evidence is overwhelming
100%
He's too arrogant to ever do that and I'm actually fine with that because now he is more likely to get a sentence that he deserves. He shouldn't be given a plea deal. He needs to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Prosecutors didnt offer him any plea. But im with you, this guy is toast!
@@gwynluv5447Agree 100%.
And they took his DNA sample and got the results back the SAME day. His trial should’ve taken one day!
I’d like to personally thank the defendant for making sure his crimes were so well documented. As well as doing such a great job leaving critical evidence available and fairly easy to discover by law enforcement.
This guy could write a book on how not to commit a murder.
Sounds like the man that wrote the articles was right about the guy being a bully
Great opening. Clear, easy to understand and thorough. This is the way it’s done.
Agree!
@cat 2:15 hyprosser1050 my only issue with the opening statement is that his neighbor went over and found him the morning of the 3rd and thought he had a medical episode. How would anyone think he had a medical episode if he were stabbed to death? Where's the blood?
That side profile with the straw hat is 100% his chipmunk profile
hhahahaha 😂
His gait is another piece of evidence. It's very odd and easily confirmed to be the same as the defendant.
AND ! Tellis forgot to whear his lifts 😂😆😄😁🤣
😭😭😭😭😭
That goofy getup in the heat? What a weirdo, who’s not going to notice that getup in 100 degree weather? 🤣🤣🤣
Ikr? Huge hat, bright orange jacket, this guy never heard of ninjas I guess... 🙄🤦
If it wasn't such a horrible crime it would be comical!
He actually drew attention to himself with his unusual clothing, he wore his usual shoes, and drove his own distinct car to and from the crime scene. He really helped police solve the murder.

Its protecting your skin from the sun so not that crazy of an outfit.
The evidence in this case is just overwhelming, and cannot be explained away.
That "man in the yellow hat" disguise brought me back to my childhood reading Curious George books. Everything about his ingenious 'plan', leaving evidence around his house, returning to the scene etc... was so astonishingly brainless that it would actually be hilarious, if not for the poor victim.
You are a genius 😊
😅😅
He failed his mission successfully. I can't believe he used his own car. The outfit, the trail of evidence, just so bizarre
cutting up the shoes and putting them under the couch...... truly bizarre
Patent desperation, perhaps.
Such a narcissist he believed he could get away with it.
It was his wife's car. If he had driven his own car, all of his employees and all of his business contacts would have recognized it instantly. However, a realtor whom he worked with frequently, shopped at the same grocery store as Telles and had seen him driving his wife's car while shopping. That realtor reported that fact to the police, along with the fact that the unique gait of the perp as seen in the video matched Telles' own strange gait.
He's representing himself against that mountain of evidence? The narcissist in this one is strong...
but ..but... he got framed, don't you understand?
He has attorneys now.
Narcs live in their own fantasy world
He framed himself with all that incriminating evidence
YOU COULDN'T GET BETTER PROOF THAN THAT
Absolutely!
Everybody is writing stories about him now lol
Right?
Great point!
hahah true that there's people from all over the world now who know him and what he did, including me from the UK
And me from New Zealand
Streisand effect if I've ever seen it 😂
@@CRUDE360 You mean that lady who used to sing?
this, Sarah Boone trial, Darrell Brooks trial are what get me though the day at work every day. I'm not ashamed to say it

That poor man! Breaks my heart. What a terrible, terrible thing to have happened to him 😔 RIP Jeff German
Drives his own car to commit murder 😂😂
And parks it in front of the house... 🤦🙄
@@abelis644it was down the street a bit ,
BUT STILL
@@russheins6458 he went back to Mr German's house shortly after the murder and parked out the front.
I bet he regrets not paying $200 for a day rental
Its his wife's car...and that may be worse honestly
So sad for the man killed. Praying for his family and friends
why is this even going to trial this is a slam dunk
Same thing with Sarah Boone!
Arrogance and ego!
@abelis644 , I was just going to say the exact same thing!! 😅
Because everyone has the right to a fair and unbiased trial..duh😅

This beast is a super crazy Narc bully. The lives he's impacted! Guilty!
RT looking at the crime scene photos and doing his best to look disgusted but he can’t pull it off because he looks at the pictures too long
Telles may as well have had the words "I killed Jeff German" tattooed on his head.
That’s definitely his face under that hat!
Wow! When they played the news report he walks exactly like the assassin! If I was a jury member I’d make my decision of guilt immediately. The walk is obviously identical.

@@studiosingerand how did he get Telles DNA under his nails if he were fully clothed and had no scratches on him???
Oj simpson too
I have never seen a more overwhelmingly incriminating case that actually went to trial in my life.
Sarah Boone case Oct 7, 2024.
This defendant is a classic example of a true politician. A blatant shameless liar and in this case a narcissist who thinks he committed the perfect crime.
Thank you Judge for not chewing gum. We know it's a stressful job and we appreciate the professionalism. Thxs.
what?
what are you talking about?
@@susanshew2373A judge he had earlier was smacking her gum during court proceedings. Not sure if it's the same judge that's over the actual trial though.
His DNA was under the victims fingernails. Thankfully, the victim will help convict this guy.
Did telles have scratch marks on his body? If the victim drew blood from telles, telles should be bleeding from scratches.
How tho? The suspect was completely clothed. How did he get his DNA? There were no scratches on Telles.....
Why would he take this to trial knowing how much evidence there is against him?? He would have been better off taking a plea deal
Because he is a narcissist and believes he is above the law.
And he wanted the notoriety
@@GigglingHamster He thought he was invincible.
He wasn’t offered one, and this preponderance of evidence is likely why.
Ego and narcissism
What more evidence do they need????
This is a slam dunk case!
Bright orange and an extremely wide brimmed hat. 🤦
And a regular carry bag no tools etc..
He should be referred to as Telles Savalis
This trial seems like a waste of time to me. He should plead guilty to avoid life in prison...
What sort of whacko wears that stuff to carry out a murder in full daylight? Beyond weird.
It's what a lot of outdoor workers wear in Vegas in 100° temps. It got to 111° that day.
It was the only smart thing he did.
@@mortalclown3812 seriously? you think that his clothing was camouflage out there?
Lmao 😂 I am trying to understand what he was thinking… I’m lost
@@Xanzia1972lmao
@@mortalclown3812you can’t be serious? lol this guy gave them step by step evidence with a nice big red bow
Mr. Telles is toast. There's way too much evidence against him.
That was a long time in those bushes poor jeff rest in peace
Could he have left more clues??? You drove your own car, you didn't think you would be noticed in that get up?
And he leaves the disguise hidden in his own house!
The Conehead looks Worried. Had to wear a Hat with that Cue Ball. 🥴🤣🤣🤣
Im so impressed about the investigators’ documentation of everything. Those cameras are sent from heaven for them! This defendants smug is so annoying esp when he crunchies his face like as if this is soooo new to him…. Or maybe im reading him wrong, he was probably shocked how st*pid he was!
This should be a death penalty case. No question about it.
EVEN THE JAW IS EXACT
Had to wear something so bright
How did the killer know the victim would go to the side of his house? Also, it's pretty foolish to commit a crime like that and not dispose of what one wore at the time of the crime. Hiding it under the reclining sofa? It's as if he wanted to get caught.
DNA stands for Denial Not Available
Why did the victim walk over to that side of the garage in the first place? I don’t get it!
He may have went to investigate a noise he heard on that side.
Telles called out to him. German recognized that it was someone he had interviewed before, and who was the subject of his current investigation. It was natural for him to respond.
This case should be a "Comedy of errors" type movie
He did that
POOR DOG!
Buying tacos at 9AM is suspicious
They make breakfast tacos
Just think. This guy was more incompetent than tiffany henyard
Oh he is done
Only a narcissistic psychopath would murder someone and deny responsibility. Evidence in this case is overwhelming against him.
Everytime someone threatens to kill me for a comment, I think of this guy now
Wow! This reporters murder changed political history. If not exposed, this man could have went even further with his psychosis.
Elected official. No body noticed?
It’s crazy that this guy thinks he’s the smartest man in the room and yet he kept all evidence of his “disguise”.
What do you even say as a defense attorney lol
objection: hearsay
He’s representing himself
@@Pollypocket678 looks like he does have defense lawyers and they are claiming he was framed 🤡 it's in another video
@@venericanone oooo I must have watched an older video where he wanted to self represent
@@Pollypocket678 supposedly he said that at first yes
The prosecutor needs to work on the use of UM. It breaks the narrative. It reduces the impact. It makes her less authoritative.

He actually looks like ET with eyebrows

Not sure why you would take your own car to murder someone
So he wasn't robbed and he was snuck up on.
Is that considered camo orange??
This dan akroyd is so conehead guilty
Indeed...very homely man inside and out
Or drunk Santa Claus dan ankroyd in trading places.
Ugh. DA please learn how to eliminate the "umm" from every sentence.😂
If he says that he was on a walk when the murder accured, why are there no videos of him taking that walk? There are cameras everywhere nowadays
His defense is that him being framed is technically physically possible. Don’t think it’s going to work.
Oh...the man in the weird hat and bright orange jacket is definitely Telles. Can't believe ,he used his own car.
He's married but acts little feminine lol he's a Weird individual. Everytime they get to truth parts he then goes into being defensive He's lying Guilty.
How did the victim get DNA on his finger when the assailants is fully covered up. Strange
He scratched his face
His slogan was "delivering diversity" 😂😂😂
That evidence is overwhelming
This guy made it easy to catch him.
This guy is truly a heartless criminal.😮

@@MYLAR. There was in fact a big sewer repair project right near the victim's home, with a lot of orange-wearing workers.
