Dylan Adams, one of three men charged in the death of Holly Bobo, will take a plea deal, it was announced on Monday in a court hearing in Hardin County, according to our NBC affiliate WSMV.
Adams has entered a "best interest" plea of guilty on the charges of facilitation of first-degree murder, a lesser charge from first-degree murder, which he was charged, and especially aggravated kidnapping.
By accepting the plea, Adams does not admit to guilt, only that the plea is the best interest to all. As part of the plea, he cannot appeal the verdict.
Adams will serve 35 years in prison on the two charges. He is charged in connection with the 2011 murder, kidnapping and rape of the Decatur County nursing student.

Last month, Adams was granted a second extension for both sides to work out a deal.
The judge said previously that if they were not able to reach a deal, Adams would go to trial.
Adams' brother, Zach, was convicted in Bobo's murder last year.
