Jennifer Mee, "Hiccup Girl," guilty of 1st degree murder

Jennifer Mee, a Florida woman who became famous for her uncontrollable hiccuping, was found guilty of first-degree murder Sept. 20, 2013 and will serve life in prison without parole. Mee, 22, will serve life in prison without the possibility of parole. As a 15-year-old, Mee gained notoriety after developing a case of the hiccups that wouldn't go away. She tried home remedies and consulted medical specialists, a hypnotist and an acupuncturist, until the hiccups finally stopped on their own, though not for good. In 2010, Mee lured Shannon Griffin, a 22-year-old Wal-Mart worker, to an abandoned home under the pretense of buying marijuana. Once there, two of Mee's friends robbed Griffin at gunpoint -- but he struggled and was shot four times. Mee's co-defendant, LaRon Raiford, was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in August 2013. Lamont Newton, the other co-defendant who was also Mee's boyfriend at the time of the crime, has not yet gone to trial.
