Jennifer Mee Case
Florida woman Jennifer Mee was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 2013 after being convicted of first degree murder. If you think she deserved to be locked up for life, you may think again once you read the details of Jennifer’s case, which are:
Jennifer made an appointment with a young man she contacted on Facebook but with the intention of robbing him. His male companions carried out the robbery and it was during this process that the victim was shot to death. Under Florida law, all participants in a fatal robbery are 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 this wrong?
This 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 horrible murder cases, so how does your case compare to others in Florida?
Jennifer did not actually kill the victim, but she has received the same sentence as America’s most violent killers.
There have been other contributing or rather mitigating factors that have come forward in Jennifer’s defense and one of them is that she was beaten up by an ex-boyfriend and they did this and that to her when she was young.
I have told Jennifer in my correspondence with her that the people who have done these things to her are not responsible for the decisions she has made.
She took that on board. (I wish)
The case received a lot of public attention due to Jennifer’s notoriety. As a teenager he suffered from an incurable episode of hiccups, appearing on national television. All kinds of emotions are stirred in this and other high-profile cases, but the judge is supposed to be above all that. In this case it appears that it 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 excitement 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.
