This week, Vogue, Dayvid and Sonja look at a wild week of news: First up, journalist Jeff German’s murder investigation is back in the news, because his former employer, the Review-Journal, is locked in a battle with the LVMPD over German’s cellphone. So: Is a deceased journalist’s cellphone still protected under Nevada’s shield laws? And what happens now? Next, we cover the wild tale of Golden Knights goalie Robin Lehner’s bankruptcy, and the murdered owner of an exotic reptile breeding business that Lehner invested in. And if that wasn’t enough news to make your head spin, it looks like some contaminated cannabis has been making its way around the state… since 2021. But how contaminated is it, exactly? And what should we be worried about?


For a list of the affected cannabis products and dispensaries where they were sold, you can download the product list spreadsheet here.
