Nashville attorney Kristen Elizabeth Menke was publicly censured by order of the Tennessee Supreme Court yesterday. A petition for discipline was filed against Menke that included a complaint of disciplinary misconduct alleging that Menke made inappropriate comments during a closing argument, making direct and indirect references to the defendant’s decision not to testify. The petition also said she improperly injected personal opinion about the justness of the cause in her closing argument.
