Jennifer Mee 'Hiccup Girl' Charged With Murder

Time NewsFeed reports that Jennifer Mee, the girl who is known for hiccuping 50 times in one minute back in 2007, is one of the three people arrested and charged with first degree murder after a botched robbery.

According to CBS News the 19-year-old admitted involvement in a fatal shooting in St. Petersburg Florida. She allegedly "lured a 22-year old man, Shannon Griffin, to a home where two male accomplices allegedly robbed and shot him."

In Florida first degree murder charges can lead to the death penalty.

Mee's Mugshot

Mee had her 15 minutes of fame for hiccuping 50 times in one minute due to a case of unstoppable hiccups. At the time she was temporarily unable to attend school. She had to see a hypnotist, chiropractor and acupuncturist until the hiccups finally went away.

The whole nation felt bad for this young girl, but now she is being seen in a different light.

It seems unfortunate now that she had that fame, because if she had just been another person then this news would not have made it to national headlines. These things happen every day all over the country without being reported on in any publication other than the ones locally, but when a mini-celebrity or someone who was once a public figure in some way gets involved with this it becomes nationally recognized.
