According to the New York Times, Kelly Goodlett, the former cop, filed her plea before US District Judge Rebecca Grady Jennings in federal court in Louisville, Kentucky. According to the publication, Goodlett admitted guilt on one count of conspiracy, making him the first cop to face criminal charges for the failed raid.
