A Middle Tennessee lawyer is facing charges after police say she allegedly destroyed evidence for a client, reports the Tennessean. Sumner County criminal defense lawyer Jocelyn Mims was indicted by a grand jury Wednesday after Hendersonville Police said Mims found and then deleted pornographic images of children from her client's cell phone. Mims, who was being held at the Sumner County jail Friday on an $80,000 bond has been charged with tampering with evidence, making false reports to an officer and intentionally failing to report child sex abuse. Mims was previously disbarred after she pleaded guilty in November 2008 to one count of conspiracy and one count of criminal attempt to introduce drugs into a penal facility.
