Guilty as charge

[MisterV]

The LV politician, Telles, was convicted of murdering a LV journalist who published embarrassing info about him.

Too bad Nevada didn't seek the death penalty: this asshole deserves a slow, painful death.

Nevada is one of 27 states that permit capital punishment.

However, the state has not actually carried out an execution since April 26, 2006.

A sentence of death is reserved for individuals convicted of murder involving aggravating circumstances.

I don’t know what parole statistics are in Nevada for indeterminate sentences like the 20 to life Telles got but in Nevada determinate sentences are also given a range such as for example 1 to 3, 2 to 4, 3 to 6, etc. and unless the inmate is a complete screw up he gets out as soon as the minimum has passed. For example OJ was sentenced in Nevada to 9 to 33 and got out in 9.

Murder is a very cruel thing taking life away and to murder for selfishness is amongst the worst. Only self-defense has any chance to be guilt free because of course the other person can be blamed.

Circus Circus murder trial starts in Las Vegas; death penalty sought

This is that guy who "door crashed" at Circus Circus until he got into a room, robbed two Vietnamese tourists of some Louis Vuitton crap and murdered them both.

Happened over six years ago; finally getting to trial now.

This one was a far worse Circus Circus crime.

I’d say that the crime where that guy raped and killed the little girl at the Primm casino in 1997, was worse.

7-year-old girl’s murder at Nevada casino still haunts 20 years later

Forcible rape is terrible but first degree murder is worse.

Of course in the Primm casino case, the father was letting his child run around the casino unaccompanied at 3am. The Circus Circus people were inside a locked hotel room.

There was another child murder at Primm.

Rather poor track record considering...

The jury didn't buy his story of "I just ended up with the fruits of the crime, I didn't murder them."

Jury chooses life in prison for man who killed 2 from Vietnam in Las Vegas hotel room in 2018

Life without parole though, not death sentence. It could have had to do with that he denied the killing, and the jury decided that although they did not believe him, they didn't want him executed on the tiny chance that they made a mistake.

But if you followed his testimony it was ridiculous, and along the lines of Grump's constant nonsense of that everyone else is lying, but not him.

I was wondering WHY a 7 year old CHILD was in a CASINO in the first place! Poor child who got raped and Murdered in a place you would NEVER have expected a CHILD to be in and especially not at 3 AM.
