How can anyone be charged with breaking the law if the facility has an open door policy?

May I have guests in the Dining Room? Can they stay overnight? (click here)

Absolutely! Guests are welcome to share meals with you in the Skylight Dining Room for a modest fee. Guests may stay with you in your Apartment or Garden Home, or if you prefer, overnight guest rooms are available at a nominal charge.

This is an independent living facility. Who is to say what visitor may visit or not? There is no freedom of speech in Mississippi? Not that I am surprised, but, what was so terrible about the photo?

...Police say Kelly broke into the facility (click here) and took the picture by Rose Cochran's bedside. The photo surfaced in a political attack ad on YouTube that aimed to smear Cochran, according to The Clarion-Ledger. It is unclear how the photo was used because the ad was removed within hours of being posted, according to the newspaper.

Kelly, a 28-year-old Madison, Mississippi, resident, has a host of social platforms that cover politics and often attacks the senior senator.

The video, like the majority of Kelly's material, supported Cochran's opponent in the Republican primary -- and that's where things get politically complicated....

What was the issue? Abuse? Bedsores? Or simply a family secret that was considered "A Shameful Reality" when in fact it was simply someone aging? What was the problem within the nursing home and this patient? Does someone need to have federal officers investigate because Mississippi is so corrupt the truth can't be known about the preeminent facility in the state? Elder abuse is elder abuse, what's going on here?

I have to say, I am a bit surprised Mrs. Cochran is housed in a facility rather than near her loving husband with supportive home care.
