Jennifer Mee: Hiccup Girl Charged With Murder


Jennifer Mee is known as the 2007 "Hiccup Girl" who now has a real life impacting hiccup - she was charged with murder.

Jennifer Mee - famous for hiccuping for 50 straight times a minute for a straight five weeks - for some reason, at the age of 19 now, was arrested along with two others, for the murder of a person they were trying to rob.

How could one have gone so wrong, so young?

According to MSNBC, St. Petersburg Police Department Sgt. T.A. Skinner said in a news release that on Saturday Mee "lured the victim, Shannon Griffin, 22, to a home where the others robbed him at gunpoint." Griffin reportedly struggled with the Mee and the other suspects and was shot several times.

The Hiccup Girl story aside, what's not known is how her life changed such that she's in so much trouble. She admitted the incident but it's not clear if she was the person who pulled the trigger. Now, she's flirting with a charge of murder in the first degree and a life sentence.

The eventual charge may be less than that with some chance for a normal life in the future, but where are her parents and how did Jennifer Mee fall so far?

Those are the important questions.
