The Spin

German spent decades reporting on shadowy characters and criminals, but Telles — a failed politician unwilling to accept responsibility for his plight — was the only one who tried to kill a journalist just doing his job. This conviction has brought justice for German and all journalists who bravely speak truth to power.

Telles' claims of a conspiracy against him are a stretch, but he did paint a picture of several people and a company who had motive to frame him. Although the jury convicted Telles, it should be acknowledged that sometimes investigators get things wrong and people who claim they've been set up should be given a chance to say their piece.
