In 2007, 15-year-old Jennifer Mee gained national attention as the “Hiccup Girl,” a teenager from Florida whose hiccups would not go away. Just a few years later, she would re-emerge after being charged with first-degree murder.

Jennifer’s trial was interesting because there was one thing all sides could agree on – Jennifer herself did not pull the trigger. So would the punishment fit the crime?
