"Hiccup Girl" found guilty of first-degree murder

A 22 year-old Florida woman was convicted of first-degree murder. Jennifer Mee was arrested in October of 2010 when she and her two friends murdered Shannon Griffin. Mee met Griffin on a social-networking site, and shortly after she lured him into a vacant home. This is where Griffin was shot multiple times by Laron Raiford and Lamont Newton, friends of Mee. All three were arrested hours after the killing. Raiford was just recently sentenced to life in prison, and Newton has not had a trial yet. While Mee did not actually pull the trigger, she took most of the spotlight due to her previous fame. In 2007, Mee appeared on "NBC's the Today Show" for her severe case of the hiccups. Her hiccups lasted for more than a month and she became instantly famous for that. Months after her hiccups faded, she ran way from home and she continued to be in the news. Ever since her bad case of the hiccups, Mee could not get out of the spotlight. Now she will spend the rest of her life in jail.

I think that Mee was just addicted to fame. She got a small taste of it when she had the hiccups for a month and she could not get enough of it. I think that there is something to be said for her behavior after her 15 minutes of fame. She ran away from home. That is crying for attention pretty much. People will do crazy things for attention, and maybe Mee loved it enough to kill another human being. I think that first-degree murder was sufficient because she will never see the outside world again. No killer should be able to be free. I think it is safe to say that justice was served.
