ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — A Tampa Bay woman whose uncontrollable hiccups brought her worldwide attention is charged in the killing of a 22-year-old man during a robbery.
Jennifer Mee, 19, of St. Petersburg and two others are charged with first-degree murder in the death of Shannon Griffin on Saturday.
Sgt. T. A. Skinner of the St. Petersburg Police Department says Mee lured Griffin to a home where the others robbed him at gunpoint. Police say Griffin was shot several times.
Skinner says Mee and the others admitted their involvement.
Mee was being held without bond early Monday. Pinellas County jail records did not show whether she has an attorney. Telephone numbers listed for Mee’s mother have been disconnected.
Mee’s hiccups – up to 50 times a minute for months – gained notoriety in 2007.

Posted on October 26, 2010 at 9:59amI hope the Blaze quit posting useless news like this. They would be better off going to Alex Jones Infowars and getting information from there

Posted on October 26, 2010 at 10:57pmIt’s in the news. People are going to talk about this way more than half the stories here. It’s an AP story, so I don’t imagine the staff did more than spend a minute to copy and paste the copy.
One thing, though. Alex Jones is not the only alternative to any news site.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 4:43pmI thought this turd was sick in the head when she did the fake hiccup thing for attention, so she hooks up with a gang willing to gratify her intense need for attention and here we are. Her parent must be proud of themselves.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 3:40pmI don’t want to sound heartless, but she will probably say the hiccups made her crazy and she’ll get a slap on the wrist instead of Murder 1. I do feel for the families, they are the ones who suffer the most. May God Bless.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 3:05pmNot every story on this site needs to be earth shattering news and if you can do a better job start your own web site. Look I agree there are more important things in the news besides this Hiccup Woman but overall TheBlaze is doing a good job or I would not have logged on and neither would you.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 9:50amWhat with limited stories to post, and so much going on, am I the only one that feels these stories are not pertinent to The Blaze? I know it’s not supposed to be GBish, but I’m sure all the LSM will pick it up.

As long as they cover the main stories, does it matter if they add a little odd story now and then? Or even one or two a day?

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 9:07amAnother wasted life. A story that is becoming all too common and far too frequent. Worst of all, I barely even take notice of these stories anymore because they have become a fact of life. That just sucks.

Posted on October 25, 2010 at 10:13amIndeed, this is the loss of the victims life (may God comfort the surviving family in their time of need) and of the three instigators as well. The ripples of this vicious crime will carry far and wide for a very long time.

Are you on this site 27/7???? Must be nice to have the time! As far as “ripples far and wide for a very long time” I would have to say that will be only if Nancy Grace picks up the story (she probably will). Lest you think I sound heartless, the violence (and consequences) are definitely going to be pretty much contained to the people involved (and like any sane person, I can feel for them), so let’s not get melodramatic about it, huh? If this girl hadn’t been in the news for the hiccups, it would not have even made the wire services.
