The young woman who gained national attention after her unusual medical condition earned her the nickname “Hiccup Girl” is on trial for a horrific murder after a botched robbery attempt in Florida.
Jennifer Mee, 22. is accused of killing Shannon Griffin, 22, in a robbery on October 23, 2010 for between $50 and $60 in St Petersburg, which went tragically wrong.
Prosecutors believe that she lured Griffin to an apartment to sell him marijuana but it was really a plan to rob him with two other men, Lamont Antonio Newton and Laron Cordale Raiford.
As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, her mother said that she was diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome and that played a role in her involvement in the case.
A jury has been selected for the trial but her lawyer told the judge on Wednesday morning that Jennifer has been recently diagnosed with schizophrenia and a mental evaluation of her was ordered.
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.
