LAS VEGAS (AP) — A jury in a hushed courtroom saw security video of a person wearing bright orange clothing slip into the yard of a home where a veteran Las Vegas investigative journalist was ambushed and killed nearly two years ago as the trial of a former elected county official charged with the reporter's murder began Wednesday.
The video was from the home of Holly and Row Bailey, longtime neighbors and friends of Jeff German, a Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter. The Baileys each wept as they told the jury that they thought it was odd that German's garage door remained open all day with his car inside, but they could not reach him by telephone or text message.
