The previous media sensation known as the “Hiccup Girl,” Jennifer Mee, had been lately arrested for homicide. Mee, 19, was charged along with two other individuals, of robbing a guy at gunpoint and murdering him. Jennifer Mee came to national prominence several years back as a result of weeks of continuous hiccups. Along with becoming an internet sensation, she also was on television shows such as the “Today Show”.
Homicide was what Mee had been charged with
MSNBC accounts that Mee got arrested in Florida because there were allegations of 1st degree homicide, that two others were being arrested for as well, that she had been a suspect in. Shannon Griffin had been supposedly lured to a place by Mee, 19, Laron Raiford, 20, and Lamont Newton, 22. He was robbed at gunpoint by Raiford and Newton. After taking things from the man, a scuffle ensued and Griffin had been shot numerous times, mostly in the upper torso. Being involved with the crime is something all three admit to. An accomplice to a crime that ends in murder is usually held responsible too. This is the case with Jennifer Mee and friends who are being charged under the felony homicide statute. If convicted, all three might face the death penalty.
Being referred to as ‘Hiccup Girl’
The nation knows “The Hiccup Girl” instead of Jennifer Mee. One time, a girl ended up with hiccups for five weeks. This had been Jennifer Mee. Each and every day, she would hiccup 50 times a minute. Certainly the news would be interested in this. Her and others who were becoming nationally known were shown on the “Today Show” in 2007. She saw numerous specialists to cure the affliction, and she ultimately was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome, based on WTSP Media in Tampa. The medication for Tourette’s helped her. She seemed cured.
Nevertheless has not been litigation
All three defendants have admitted to being involved in the crime, and are being kept without bail. Being convicted could mean the death penalty for all three. This is what being charged under the felony murder statute means. Felony murder mandates at least a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
