A man had been arrested trying to sneak into Rose Cochran’s nursing home in order to take photos of her dying in bed.

The man had been attempting to earn a bounty offered by “a fringey figure in the far right corner of the very far right media, a man who offered a thousand dollars for a photo of Cochran’s wife in the nursing home,” Maddow explained, while behind her flashed a photo of Chuck Johnson (see above).

Correction, Johnson offered the bounty for the pics after news got out that Clayton Thomas Kelly had been arrested for entering Rose Cochran’s nursing home and taking the photos. Since the photos predated the bounty the bounty was never the motive for taking them, and I’m fairly sure Maddow never said otherwise.
