'Hiccup Girl' Charged With Murder in Fla.
Source: AOL News

(Oct. 25) -- A Florida teenager who made headlines for her prolonged case of hiccups three years ago has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting and armed robbery of a man, authorities say.

Jennifer Mee, 19, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Shannon Griffin, who was found Saturday night with "several gunshot wounds to his upper body," St. Petersburg, Fla., police said in a statement Sunday, according to media reports.

Two men, Laron Raiford, 20, and Lamont Newton, 22, were also arrested and charged with murder, according to the St. Petersburg Times. All three were due in court this afternoon.

Police said Mee lured the victim to a home where the two other suspects robbed him at gunpoint and took "miscellaneous items" from him, the newspaper reported. Griffin, 22, was killed during a struggle.

1. One should never have their finger on the trigger while they are hiccuping.
Bad things can happen.

4. I hate that argument
Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, in order for the state to deprive her of life or liberty.

We are under no obligation to assume that she is innocent.
