CANTON, Miss. (AP) A man accused videotaping the ill wife of a U.S. senator has pleaded guilty to conspiracy.
Clayton Kelly of Pearl, Mississippi entered the plea Monday. He faces up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. It was not immediately clear when he would be sentences.
Kelly was accused of shooting video of the wife of U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran while she was bedridden with dementia in a nursing home.
