The Pinellas County girl who became nationally known for a case of hiccups will be tried separately in connection with a botched robbery attempt turned deadly.

Jennifer Mee, now 20, is accused of luring a man to a St. Petersburg home, where two other men killed him during a botched robbery attempt. Mee, along with the two men, face first-degree murder charges.

On Monday, Mee's attorney asked for a separate trial from the other two defendants. The judge set her trial for May 2013.

Mee, 20, and co-defendants Lamont Newton, 23, and Laron Raiford, 21, are accused of plotting to meet 22-year-old Shannon Griffin in St. Petersburg and rob him.

Instead, Griffin was shot and killed.

Mee had befriended Griffin on a social networking site in October 2010. A week after meeting online, they made plans to meet at a home in the 500 block of Seventh Street North. When Griffin arrived, Mee lured him to the back of the home where the men attempted to rob him, authorities said.

Griffin struggled with the men and was shot three times, officials said.

Mee was 15 when she gained international fame in 2007 for her extreme case of hiccups. The hiccups lasted six weeks. She appeared on national television multiple times while dealing with the hiccups.
