[@TheMary0831]

It ain't about his family's pain. Only his own.

[@JudicialMermaid]

I know 20 to life is not what folks expected. But I want to assure you all-he will serve 40+ years because you have to show remorse and an ability to be rehabilitated. I don’t see him doing that. In addition, at each parole hearing after 20 years, the victims and prosecutors get to advocate for why he should remain incarcerated. The fact this was premeditated and vicious-I’d be shocked if he ever gets out based on those reasons.

[@makamurphy]

That's right...

[@Aren-Tibbs]

What if it turns out that he really was framed by the LVPD and Coroner and Lab Techs and the DNA evidence was planted?

I do not understand why the jury is asked to be compassionate towards Telles and Telles' family! How horrible for the murdered man's family to have to listen to the murderer's family praise the man who killed their innocent loved one!

[@heathernikki5734]

I don’t agree with parole. He admitted to nothing, lied endlessly, and showed NO remorse. Do they really think 20 years in prison will rehabilitate someone like that?

[@adamlaw4428]

Whether he admitted to anything after he was convicted is not a factor as to why he should or should not receive eligibility for parole. He had a constitutional right to a trial. If he is ever to actually receive parole the parole board may well be looking as to whether he has admitted to his actions and expressed remorse.

[@michelero4297]

Probably not but by then he will pose no risk to others... I would hope he doesn't get out before 25 years, they never get paroled on first attempt. I think he is 47 or 48 so that puts him in his mid 70's.

[@lastdaystrumpet5608]

He’s a narcissistic sociopath! He should never be paroled.

[@coryc9040]

​@@adamlaw4428what is a factor?

[@andyp899]

It’s just the possibility. He has to be granted it and one overarching aggravating factor against is what you’re saying; there has to be a long established pattern of taking responsibility and showing remorse, there’s been zero of that.

[@deys2832]

In the last 15 years, the State of Nevada has paroled (on their first attempt at parole) only 4% of those inmates who were sentenced to life w/ 20-year parole restriction. Telles may eventually win parole, but not until he is at least 80 (33 years).

[@wxyz7375]

The jury was empathetic to give him a chance at parole after 20 years but when you realize that will require him to first admit his guilt to the parole board, then they may as well have sentenced him to life with no parole. He seems unable to take responsibility as he shakes his head at the thought of being convicted.

I think parole IS the right thing to do. People change all the time. I'm not the same person I was 20 years ago and I wish I could go back and do things differently and I didn't even spend time in jail or commit a horrible crime. He has loads of time to sit and think about this and in 20 years I hope he has learned the horrible wrong that he committed, admits to it, shows remorse and understanding that HE is the lucky one who is still alive and gets to see his family while his victim's life has been ended by his hand. Maybe then, with this realization, he will use some of those positive traits that the people who love him have told us about, to make the world a better place. It won't bring his victim back, but neither will keeping him in jail if he has truly learned his lesson. The jury got it right.

they may change, but their victims stay the same...dead; and the victim's family remains...broken. it makes no difference whether it's 20 years, 40 years, or 60 years; it won't bring the victims back, nor will it mend a broken family. as you mentioned, he's lucky to able to see his family, the victim and his family are unable to see each other. make the world a better place? it's too late for that. he made the world somewhat less better place. do you honestly believe that at the age he might be freed, he will have the power to make the world a better place? stop having your head in the clouds, get back to earth.
