| Florida woman best known as the "Hiccup Girl" has a murder trial in May. The woman, Jennifer Mee was responsible for setting up a young man in a botched robbery that led to his murder. Mee, her boyfriend and another friend are facing life in the iron college if they're found guilty. |
The young woman who was famous sometime back in 2007 for uncontrollable hiccups (Tourette's syndrome) is facing trial for murder. Jennifer Mee, Laron Raiford and her then boyfriend Lamont Newton were involved in a robbery/murder of Shannon Griffin, a young man who met Mee on Facebook.

Shannon Griffin was a survivor of the devastating Hurricane Katrina of 2005. Griffin moved with his mother to St. Petersburg from Mississippi. He was working and attending a local college. He apparently heard of the young woman through friends and the social networks. Mee arranged Griffin to meet her at a dope spot and the two men Raiford and Newton were to rob him of his stuff. Griffin put up a fight and one of the men shot him and killed him.
Mee is going to face the judge in May. She may take a plea deal to get a reduced sentence. Right now, if she is convicted for her role in murder, Mee will spend the rest of her life in prison.
Mee was then a 15-year old girl who was making the media circuit for a rare condition that caused repetitive and painful hiccups. Her parents tried to get her all the remedies to stop them, but to no avail.

Doctors found medication and therapy to help control the hiccups. For the most part, Mee was "cured" of her hiccups. But there lies the dark side of Jennifer Mee.
Mee was a rebellous teenager. She would often run away to live with her boyfriend Lamont Newton, a known dope boy.
She would post that "she was the Gangsta Boo of TBSP (Tampa Bay-St. Petersburg)".
Often on her social networking profiles, Mee would be seen showing mild raunchy of herself as well some pictures of her smoking the kush and drinking.
Laron Raiford and Newton lived in the neighborhood that Mee was to arrange this set up.
Newton wanted to get his girlfriend to lure her "date" to the house. They ended with this plan going wrong.
Mee initially tried to say that it's the fault of Raiford. She claimed that Griffin knew Raiford's previous girlfriend and the jealous boyfriend was going to beat the crap out of him.

But do you actually think she is not at fault for her role in Shannon Griffin's murder?

| Then a teenager, the world showed sympathy to a young girl who could never cease the constant hiccups. |
Hopefully, justice will be served and we here at Journal de la Reyna believe that Jennifer Mee, Lamont Newton and Laron Raiford deserve a fair trial. We believe if they're to be found guilty in this murder, they should spent the rest of their lives in the iron college.
Currently the three are currently incarcerated in the Pinellas County Jail in Clearwater, Florida.
We here at Journal de la Reyna send our condolences to the family of Shannon Griffin.
To whom ever posted this. Not all your facts are correct ..this is the problem with media today it's all about drama and there. Ratings if you want correct information go to the source thank you....a mother who cares
ReplyDeleteIf you are Mee's mother, I think there are lots of people who would be willing to donate money and learn your idea of what's going in with the case. I've been following this case since it started. I have a google alert set up. Today I read that one I'd the coi-defendants turned down a plea .
ReplyDeleteI for one would donate to her defence . I think an ignorant young girl is being railroaded .
To the anonymous poster: you can spin it the way you like it! One young man lost his life and those three individuals are in jail! Follow all you want! May will decide their fate!
ReplyDeleteJennifer's life is so screwed up cause she chose two negro thugs to live with and now they all will pay for there unGodly ways..
ReplyDeleteRocky, whether the boyfriend was Black or White, the woman had an issue. She wanted to be "loved".
ReplyDeleteShe didn't expect "love" meant do as I say.
She didn't pull the trigger. But her luring Griffin to the home was the reason why she got the case.
So White men don't do ungodly things.
Look at the wives of White supremacists arrested in federal raids.
Florida couple had gotten it.
Should I blame her for loving a man who had hate in heart?
Ignorance is no excuse, her sheer disregard for the livelyhood of other individuals is astonishing. Her "hiccup spasms" got her plenty of attention and pity from others. Now that it has come to light that she is rebellious, defiant, and aided in a murder, pitty for her has subsided. Those who once viewed her as a feeble hiccuping young woman can now clearly see that hiccups for were attention and constantly running away was as well. She got the attention she wanted now she'll have plenty of time to think about it. Lock her up.
ReplyDeleteIts so sad that at the age of 19 Jennifer will spend almost all her life in prison... She was sentenced to life in prison and so was Laron Raiford.. Lamont Newton will be in court next to get his.
ReplyDeleteLook up Jennifers prison photo..
Thank Goodness! Poor Shannon, He will never get to hug his mother, I did not know the victim, but he had the right to live, to breath, to wake up another day, because of the act of these three I do not want to use the word people I guess some would call them monsters, but they are people, took his life. He is no longer in existence because of the acts of these three. How was she railroaded? I wish they could hang pictures of the victim in thier jail cell to remind them of why they are there! My heart goes out to his loved ones.
