Summary
A Memphis mother, Kendra Scott, faces first-degree murder charges after allegedly shooting and killing a young man, Rodderius Morton, who was hiding in her daughter’s bedroom around 2 a.m. Morton, let in by the 13-year-old, tried to flee when Scott returned home unexpectedly — leading to a heated confrontation and the fatal shooting. Scott claims she acted in self-defense, arguing any parent would react violently to a stranger in their child’s room. Her legal team is reviewing doorbell footage and awaiting the autopsy as they prepare to argue she was protecting her family in a moment of panic. The case is still unfolding, with Scott currently in custody. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
