'Hiccup Girl’ is the name
Jennifer Mee came to national prominence as “The Hiccup Girl.”. One time, a girl ended up with hiccups for five weeks. This had been Jennifer Mee. The media caught on when she would hiccup at least 50 times a minute every day. She had been featured on the “Today Show” among others in 2007, coming to national prominence. She saw numerous specialists to cure the affliction, and she ultimately had been diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome, based on WTSP Media in Tampa. She had been eventually cured with Tourette’s medication.
Still hasn’t been a trial
There is no bail for the three defendants being held for the crime. Being convicted could mean the death penalty for all three. This is what being charged under the felony murder statute means. At least a life sentence will be what they face without a parole possibility. This is if felony homicide is what they’re convicted of.
