[4][5][6] In 2007, when Mee was 15 years old, she gained international fame when she developed a case of uncontrollable hiccups.

[9] Her search for a hiccup cure included "[ingesting] sugar, peanut butter, breathing in a bag, [and] having people scare her".

[8] After meeting the victim (Shannon Griffin), Mee led him around to the back of a vacant home where her two friends (Laron Raiford and Lamont Newton) were waiting with a .38 caliber handgun.

[2][11] According to Sergeant Skinner of the St. Petersburg Police Department, Mee and her accomplices admitted to their involvement in the crime.

[14] Laron Raiford had been offered a sentence of 40 years in exchange for a guilty plea, but he rejected the deal.

[19] Her co-defendants – Laron Raiford and Lamont Newton – were both convicted of first-degree murder and also sentenced to life in prison.

[20] Her sentence was criticized in an article in the Hastings Women's Law Journal as purportedly disparate from that which would be imposed upon a similarly situated male.
