Case of Jennifer Mee

Florida woman Jennifer Mee was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 2013 after being convicted of first-degree murder. If she thinks she deserved to be locked up for life, she might want to think again once she reads the details of Jennifer’s case, which are:

Jennifer made an appointment with a young man who she contacted on Facebook but with the intention of robbing him. Her male companions carried out the assault and it was during this process that the victim was fatally shot. Under Florida law, all participants in a fatal robbery are as equally guilty of murder as the one who pulled the trigger.

There are aspects of this crime that are wrong, but the main one is that Jennifer is charged with first degree murder.

Why is it wrong?

Here is your answer:

Jennifer never intended to kill the victim nor did she want him to die.

This means that Jennifer is not guilty of murder but of involuntary manslaughter according to the dictionary.

There are some horrific murder cases, so how does your case compare to others in Florida?

Jennifer did not actually kill the victim, but received the same sentence as America’s most violent killers.

There have been other contributing or rather mitigating factors that have been put forward in Jennifer’s defense and one of them is that she was beaten up by an ex-boyfriend and had this and that done to her when she was young.

I told Jennifer in my correspondence with her that the people who had done those things to her are not responsible for the decisions she made.

She took that on board. (Hopefully)

The case received a lot of public attention due to Jennifer’s notoriety. When she was a teenager, she suffered from an incurable bout of hiccups and appeared on national television. All kinds of emotions are stirred up in this and other high-profile cases, but the judge is supposed to be above it all. It seems that in this case she did not.

Aside from her sentence of life in prison without parole, which is grossly unfair, it is impossible to see how Jennifer could have received a fair trial with the media circus reporting on this case.

The judge is supposed to rise above all the emotion and hype, but is it possible that the judge in this case didn’t?

I have written to American politicians about all this and have never received a single reply.
