Telles is accused of murdering Las Vegas journalist Jeff German outside of the reporter’s home.
On Tuesday, the Grand Jury released a 47-page indictmentcontaining transcripts of 10 witness interviews, videos and photographs of the murder scene and surrounding area presented before jurors.
Telles is facing one count of murder with a deadly weapon of a person older than 60, to which he pleaded not guilty.
During a previous hearing, Clark County prosecutors told the judge that they don’t plan to seek the death penalty against Telles.
He is currently being held at CCDC without bail.
