The case of the “Hiccup Girl” sentenced to life imprisonment.

In 2010, Jennifer Mee made an appointment with a young man named Shannon Griffin whom she contacted through social media; He agreed to meet her and the 22 year old was under the impression that he was going to go on a date with Jennifer and buy marijuana but his motive was robbery and Jennifer used her two male friends to help her but in the process of being robbed , Shannon was shot four times. Under Florida law, everyone who participates in a robbery in which someone is killed is equally guilty of murder as the person who actually committed the murder.

Jennifer, by all accounts, was not even present at the scene or planned to kill him. It later emerged in court that, in communication with her mother, Jennifer said: “I didn’t kill anyone. I arranged everything. It all went wrong, Mom.” She was sentenced to life without words!

The sentence had stunned those even casually interested in the case.

Now the question has to be “Is this correct?”

The prosecutor may well justify himself by saying “this is Florida law”, but then the problem for me is this;

“Can legislators ever pass a law that can make wrong right?”

To me, wrong is wrong and Jennifer received the same sentence as someone who is a serial killer.

If Florida law says that Jennifer murdered because she participated in a robbery that killed someone, and she wasn’t even at the scene of the robbery, then there is something terribly flawed in Florida law, and those who live in the state live under that law. same law, therefore, who else has been condemned in the same way?

It’s all very well to say, “This is Florida law,” but the law can’t think, but people can.

A law should be established that gives judges the power to use their discretion and judge each case on its own merits.

Politicians have a responsibility to establish fair laws; have it in their power to change the law, so the question is “What are they going to do about this unfair situation?”

It is all very well for current, past or future presidents of the United States to claim that they have arranged for the release of their citizens detained in prisons abroad, but the US government really needs to look at the cases of some of its people in American prisons that should really review their cases.

Jennifer was charged with murder, but should have been charged with manslaughter; According to my dictionary, manslaughter means accidental manslaughter, manslaughter, manslaughter without malice.

Florida has changed the definition of murder for any reason.
