"Hiccup Girl" Gets 15 In The Iron College!

Jennifer Mee, age 21 take a plea deal in the death of Shannon Griffin. Mee became an internet sensation after it was revealed that she had an uncontrollable hiccup issue. 

While we were focused on the George Zimmerman trial, another person in the news was handed her fate.

Jennifer Mee, the former internet celebrity who had a notorious case of the hiccups is going to the iron college for her role in a botched robbery that killed a man she met on the social networks.

In 2007, then a 15-year old girl, Mee was having an uncontrollable case of hiccups. Somehow her family couldn't figure out how to solve this issue and used every home remedy in the book. When they've visited the doctor and the issue even stomped the doctor.

So Mee took her problems to the internet and it became viral. As she appeared on the social networks, she attracted international attention. During that rise, she was introduced to the world as the "Hiccup Girl".

Her most famous appearance was on NBC's Today show in which she embraced a hug from country star Keith Urban.

After six months of therapy and treatments, her hiccups tone down. So she was cured of the constant hiccups.

Jennifer Mee known as the "Hiccup Girl" is taking fault for a botched robbery. She will be sentenced to the iron college soon.

Now after a few years out of the limelight, the young woman became a product of her environment.

When she gotten around 17 years old, she became more enticed towards the "gangsta lifestyle of hip-hop."

There were stories about Mee being a runaway and having issues with her family. She would runaway and end up with her then boyfriend Lamont Newton, a known dope boy.

When she was was bored, she would often put some raunchy and provocative pictures on the social networks. She would soon attract the attention of the victim, Shannon Griffin.

Shannon Griffin, a young man new to the St. Petersburg area was working at a local job. He came from the disaster of Hurricane Katrina to live with family in Florida. I guess how this jumped off with Mee was the meeting at his job. They contacted each other by social networks and by phone.

Well apparently Mee enticed Griffin to meet her in a rough neighborhood. I guess this was a going to be a set up because when Griffin met her near an abandon home, two men jumped him and tried to rob him of his stuff.

Griffin put up a fight and tried to fight for his life. It would end up getting him killed. One of the men shot him and left him for dead. As they let the young man die, the family figured that his safety was concern.

Well since the family knew that Griffin was on a "date" with Mee, they knew something wasn't right with her.

As Griffin's death hit the local news, the family knew that it had to been because of Mee.

So the police came to the home of Mee and arrested her. They would later arrest her boyfriend Newton and Laron Raiford.

These three were charged with first degree murder. Each of them would face life in prison if they're convicted. The Florida prosecutors wanted to really put them in the gas chamber (death row).

Mee, pleas to the court that it wasn't her that pulled the trigger, it was the other guy. The judge didn't buy that excuse. Even though Mee didn't shoot the young man, her actions rendered the event that lead to the murder.

So after a few years of being in the Pinellas County Lockup, the young woman and her attorneys copped a plea.

In May, Jennifer Mee took the opportunity to not face a jury, by admitting that she played a role in the murder and she will be sentence to 15 years in the iron college for her role. Her sentencing is coming by the near of her birthday in late July.

Newton and Raiford were offered plea deals but I am guessing one of them rejected it.

Now at age 21, she will spend a portion of her life thinking about how her love for a "thug" doomed her chances at a real life. Setting up an innocent man who just wanted to be there for her.

You would have thought that she could use all that internet celebrity to help others who suffer with medical disorders.

Nah, she just wanted to be the pretty little chick that wanted to be a "gangsta boo!"

Anyways, I hope the best for the family of Shannon Griffin.

I would also hope that Mee would turn her life around after this experience. She can't experience the joys of freedom.

The freedom to have a relationship.

The freedom to have a family.

The freedom to see her family move forward with their lives.

The freedom to at least apologize to the family of Shannon Griffin.

Her television appearances show no remorse for the actions that rendered her situation.

Her days and nights for the next 15 years could be long and cold. She'll be sentenced to the Lowell Correctional Facility in Ocala.

And soon the civil lawsuit that going to be issued by the family of Shannon Griffin. They will take the rest of their lives in valued properties.

The young woman and her two male friends will now understand that all lives are valued. They're alive to see the pain they've brought upon Griffin's family. They're alive to do whatever they please while in the iron college.

When Mee gets out (likely in her late 30s or early 40s), she'll be back in the real world knowing that the junk food media will always know her as the "Hiccup Girl" who killed a man.
