Tampa Bay Online:
The attorney for the woman who became famous because of hiccups and was charged with murder Sunday wants to explore a plea deal for his client, who he said is cooperating with authorities.
St. Petersburg police said Jennifer Mee met Shannon Griffin online and lured him to a meeting Saturday night so he could be robbed by two of her roommates: her boyfriend, Lamont Newton, and another man, Laron Raiford.
A struggle broke out during the robbery attempt, police said, and Griffin was shot four times and killed.
Although Mee did not fire any shots, she was charged with murder under Florida law, which holds that anyone associated with a crime leading to a murder can be charged.
Mee's attorney, John Trevena, said he wants to see whether prosecutors are willing to make a deal for a lesser charge.
"You have a lot of mitigating factors," Trevena said. "She is 19. She has no priors or history of violence. She was not the trigger person. She has been cooperative. She has Tourette syndrome. All those things play heavily in her favor."
Trevena said he does not know whether he will be successful.
"But I would be remiss if I didn't ask," he said.
Mee met Griffin on a social network site called MocoSpace, Trevena said.
The discussions began in the past two weeks, he said. While declining to offer many details, Trevena said it wasn't Mee's idea to rob Griffin.
Griffin was a standout high school athlete in his hometown of Petal, Miss., and was getting ready to head back to his family home for a vacation, according to his uncle, Shawn Griffin.
Police are investigating a number of scenarios about why Griffin agreed to meet Mee, police spokesman Mike Puetz said. Investigators will have a better idea when they obtain copies of the online conversations, Puetz said.
Meantime, Mee's mother, Rachel Robidoux, said she was very worried about her daughter.
"People say they can imagine how I feel, but until you have been in this position, you have no idea," she said in a phone interview this morning. "My daughter's life is not safe right now until something changes."
For Griffin's family, the notion of a plea deal "is a tough pill to swallow," his uncle said.
"The punishment should be based on the crime itself, and the nature of the punishment should be the same for all three," said Shawn Griffin, who added other family members had yet to hear about Mee seeking a plea deal.
"They would probably be enraged to hear that," he said. "We haven't focused on the court side yet, but in our heart, we are seeking the severest, most extreme punishment possible."
