LAS VEGAS (KTNV — Robert Telles was back in a Las Vegas courtroom Tuesday as he continues to represent himself in his murder trial.
13 INVESTIGATES: Robert Telles claims he was framed, wants to represent himself in murder case
Telles is a former Clark County public administrator. He is charged with murder after the stabbing death of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German in Sept. 2022.
Tuesday morning, Telles argues that he should be entitled to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department camera video from a traffic stop on the day he was arrested.
"For them to say that they do not have the body cam when they provided me the event number that I recited back to them, you know, careless if not malicious," he said.
A Metro lawyer told District Court Judge Michelle Leavitt that video from the traffic stop was purged because it was not labeled as being related to a homicide investigation.
Telles, who has pleaded not guilty, is set to be back in court Nov. 15.
