In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," defense attorney Bob Motta analyzes the ongoing trial of Robert Telles, who is accused of murdering investigative reporter Jeff German. Motta dissects the bizarre and seemingly ineffective methods Telles allegedly used to dispose of evidence, such as cutting up shoes and clothing in an attempt to gradually get rid of them. Despite these efforts, Telles left behind significant evidence, including his DNA under German's fingernails, which Motta describes as "smoking gun" evidence. He expresses disbelief at Telles's poor decision-making, noting that while Telles appeared to consider some aspects of covering his tracks, he ultimately failed to execute them effectively. Motta finds the defense's argument—that Telles was framed by law enforcement—highly implausible and anticipates the trial's most intriguing aspect will be watching Telles try to sell this narrative in court. The conversation underscores the challenges facing the defense, given the overwhelming evidence against Telles, and Motta suggests that this case appears to be nearly "open and shut."
