FREE JENNIFER

In 2010, Jennifer Mee, then 19 agreed to go out on a date with a young man she had contacted on Facebook, but robbery rather than romance was her motive. Her two male accomplices carried out the mugging at the location where Jennifer and her date agreed to meet. However during the scuffle one of Jennifer's male accomplices fatally shot Jennifer's date.  There was no intent or premeditation about the murder and nothing in the trial suggests otherwise. Certainly, Jennifer's reaction afterwards confirms this. According to Florida law, "All participants of a fatal robbery are equally guilty of first degree murder." Yet, what Jennifer did fits the definition of manslaughter or involuntary murder according to any dictionary. Then there is the question of who is responsible for the discharge of a firearm. I mean if the driver of a vehicle was charged with drunk driving then the passengers would not have been charged with the same crime. Jennifer and her two counterparts

Just what is the meaning of intent? Written by R. A. Stewart In the United States a person can be sent to prison for the rest of their life for a murder they did not commit and for a death that had no intent involved. How? In many states any person who is involved in a crime which leads to a person’s death can be charged with first degree murder.  Whether they had anything to do with the death or not it does not matter. Just being a party to the crime makes them equally guilty of murder as the one who committed the actual murder. It all boils down to who's responsible for the fatality and whether the actions of another contributed to another person’s death. This is called the “Felony rule.”  You do not even have to be responsible for the person’s death to be responsible for their death; if you just idly stood by and did nothing while others attacked and killed someone then your inaction caused another person’s death and therefore it means you are partly responsible for the fata

  American injustice Written by R. A. Stewart In 2010 Florida woman Jennifer Mee was convicted of first degree murder. “Was the death premeditated” “No” Was the death intentional “No” Was the death malicious “No” Did Jennifer actually kill the victim “No” Then why was she found guilty? The answer Under Florida law all participants in a fatal robbery are equally guilty of murder. Is it right... that someone who had no intention to murder can face the same charges as someone who committed the murder? And spend the rest of their life in prison... for a murder she did not commit... but... she is guilty according to Florida law. The worst part of it is that there is no room for a judge to use their discretion. This law is known as “The Felony Rule.” Florida is not the only state where this law is applicable. A petition is circulation as part of a campaign to change this situation. You can see details on this on the link below: Change.org Abolish the Felony Murder Rule in America!! At Change

Jennifer Mee Sentence is over the top As a nineteen year old Florida woman Jennifer Mee arranged a date with a young man she contacted on Facebook; but rather than have romance on her mind her motive was robbery. With the assistance of her two male friends her would-be date was mugged and it was during this process that one of Jennifer's friends fatally shot the young man. Under Florida law, all participants in a fatal robbery are equally guilty of murder whether they were responsible for the death or not. The trio were sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.  In every case of murder there are aggravating and mitigating circumstances.  The most mitigating circumstance is that Jennifer never intended to shoot the victim and nothing came out of the trial suggesting otherwise.  The second mitigating factor is that Jennifer did not pull the trigger. It has to be asked, "Who is responsible for the discharge of a firearm?" I think the one who is in
