The mother of teenage “Hiccup Girl” Jennifer Mee has told Breaking Celebrity News that her daughter’s Tourette’s syndrome played a role in her involvement with a horrific murder case.
The infamous teenager and two men are accused of killing Shannon Griffin, 22, in a robbery on October 23 for between $50 and $60 in St Petersburg, Florida, which went tragically wrong.
Mee, Lamont Antonio Newton, 22, and Laron Cordale Raiford, 20, were arrested October 24 on charges of first-degree murder – they are all being held without bail.

Her mom Rachel Robidoux told Breaking Celebrity News: “Absolutely, my daughter’s Tourette’s would have played a role here.
“I have not been able to see her since she was taken to jail, so, I don’t really know how she is doing at the present time.”
Mee’s lawyer John Trevena also believes that his client’s unusual medical condition could have played a role in the robbery and that he might be able to use it as part of her defense case.
“That is going to be a pivotal issue in the case,” he said.
