morning to capital murder charges in the 2012 killing of a woman whose body was
found at the Gadsden State Cherokee Campus.
Keaton, entered the plea before Cherokee County Circuit
Judge Jeremy Taylor in the murder of 32 year old Melissa Leeann Hudgins.
Sentencing is set for March 16.

Hudgins, of Cedar Bluff, was found dead in the arena at the Centre campus of
Gadsden State Community College in Centre.
U.S. Marshals originally arrested Keaton in Cookeville,

Authorities said at the time Hudgins and Keaton were
co-workers with a cleaning company that did work for the college.
