A Las Vegas court on Wednesday convicted a former Nevada official of the murder of investigative journalist Jeff German.

周三，拉斯维加斯一家法院判处前内华达州官员谋杀调查记者杰夫·德曼罪名成立。

The jury returned a unanimous verdict of first-degree murder for former Clark County public administrator Robert Telles. The jury later sentenced him to life in prison with a chance for parole after 20 years. His lawyer said Telles plans to appeal.

陪审团一致裁定前克拉克县公共行政官罗伯特·特莱斯犯有一级谋杀罪。陪审团后来判处他终身监禁，20年后有机会假释。他的律师说，特莱斯计划上诉。

Telles was found guilty of murder with use of a deadly weapon against a victim 60 years old or older. The jury unanimously said the murder was willful, deliberate and premeditated, and committed by means of "lying in wait."

特莱斯被判犯有谋杀罪，他使用致命武器对60岁或以上的受害者实施谋杀。陪审团一致表示，谋杀是蓄意、故意和有预谋的，并且是通过“埋伏”的方式实施的。

Over nine days of hearings, the Las Vegas court was told details of the killing of German, a 69-year-old reporter at the Las Vegas Review-Journal. German was found stabbed to death outside his suburban Las Vegas home on Sept. 3, 2022.

经过九天的听证会，拉斯维加斯法院获悉了《拉斯维加斯评论报》69岁记者德曼被杀的详细情况。 2022 年9月3日，杰曼被发现在拉斯维加斯郊区的家外被刺死。

In the Review-Journal newsroom, journalists gathered around an editor's desk to watch live video of the verdict being read, the newspaper reported.

据该报报道，在《评论报》新闻编辑室，记者们聚集在编辑的办公桌旁观看宣读判决的现场视频。

"Today a Clark County jury delivered a measure of justice for Jeff German, and we hope it brings some solace to his family, friends and colleagues," the Review-Journal's executive editor, Glenn Cook, wrote in a statement.

“今天，克拉克县陪审团为杰夫·杰曼伸张了正义，我们希望这能给他的家人、朋友和同事带来一些安慰，”《评论报》执行编辑格伦·库克在一份声明中写道。

"Jeff was killed for doing the kind of work in which he took great pride: His reporting held an elected official accountable for bad behavior and empowered voters to choose someone else for the job."

“杰夫因做他引以为豪的工作而被杀：他的报道让一名民选官员对不良行为负责，并让选民有权选择其他人担任这一职位。”
