Clayton Kelly has pleaded guilty to conspiracy for videotaping the ill wife of a senator during election campaign.
Kelly, who was accused of taking illicit photographs of the bedridden wife of U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran was indicted on burglary charges in October 2014.
At the time, Madison County District Attorney Michael Guest said Clayton Kelly, of Pearl, was charged with one count of burglary, one count of attempted burglary and one count of conspiracy to commit burglary.
Kelly was released in May 2014 on $75,000 bond after arrest on other charges. Kelly's lawyer, Kevin Camp, says his client wasn't re-arrested Wednesday and remains free on that bond.
Police say Kelly photographed Rose Cochran, without permission, in a nursing home and posted her image online. Investigators have said conspirators intended to use images of Rose Cochran to advance allegations that her husband, the senator, was having an inappropriate relationship.
