Shelby County lawyer Summer M. Rhoden on Monday received a public censure from the Board of Professional Responsibility of the Tennessee Supreme Court. Rhoden’s son was charged with first-degree murder on July 6, 2017. He appeared at her home that afternoon, and she failed to contact law enforcement or facilitate his surrender until the following morning. Rhoden was charged as an accessory after the fact as a result of this delay. Rhoden pled guilty on March 8 to a reduced misdemeanor charge of criminal attempt.
