Summary: In 2007 Jennifer Mee was nationally recognized for her condition of uncontrollable hiccuping. At one point in her life she had 50 hiccups in just one minute and this went on for 5 weeks of her life. She tried many different treatments and had seen countless doctors but nobody could figure out what was wrong with her. Eventually the hiccups stopped but still nobody knows what the cause to them were. This young teenager that everybody felt pity for no longer will receive that same feeling. On Sunday she was arrested along with 2 other people and is being charged with first-degree murder. Shannon A. Griffin was the victim and was said to have several gun shots in her upper body. Investigators believe she was a victim of a armed robbery. The crime was committed in Florida and since Florida has the death penalty if the 3 are found guilty they could face the death penalty.
Opinion: Back in 2007 when Jennifer Mee was on the today show and was being interviewed about her unusual hiccuping disorder I did feel bad for her and I'm sure I wasn't the only one watching that day that felt bad for her. I didn't understand how there could be such a thing that doctors could not fix and that instead she just had to deal with them! Once I saw the head line for this article I thought there was no way that it was the young girl who was on the today show just a few years ago...but sure enough, it was. I do not feel sorry at all for people who commit such a terrible crime. I have no idea what kind of mind set they must be in to do such a terrible thing. So many people besides just the person who died and their family is affected and sometimes I feel that the murders don't think of anybody besides themselves when they do such a terrible thing. I feel that the case should be more looked into and I feel that the death penalty should be reconsidered if the 3 are found guilty but also they should get the type of punishment they deserve.\
