FREE JENNIFER PETITION

Campaign for Jennifer Mee’s freedom
Jennifer Mee was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole after being involved in a fatal robbery with two other associates.
She arranged to meet a young man for a date after they met through Facebook however, her motive was robbery. Her male friends carried out the mugging but in the process, a scuffle followed with one of the young men shooting the victim.
Jennifer, it is understood was not even at the scene of the robbery.
She never even intended for this to happen..
In Florida, all participants in a fatal robbery are equally charged with murder.
The severity of the sentence has shocked a lot of people and the question should really be asked "How does this compare with other cases of murder?"
One just needs to read the newspapers or watch television to know there are some horrific cases.
The judge had the opportunity to use his discretion here so why didn't he?
one wrong + one wrong = one right? 
Just locking up people for life is a cop out; it is a waste of human life. It is saying to those who have offended, you have no value as a human being and are being excluded from society forever.
Some may say, "Oh, but a murderer has deprived someone else of their life."
To that I say, "Two wrongs do not make a right!"
You cannot cancel out one wrong with another wrong!
Does America really have a justice system or would a more appropriate name be "The American revenge system."
The harsh sentences handed out to some of the offender's shows how little America values a human life.
It also shows how much or rather how little empathy the justice system has for people.
Many of those in American prisons sentenced to life were sentenced as teenagers; they would with time and maturity on their side would have reflected on what they have done and felt some sympathy with their victim's family.
Have you not done some stupid stuff when you were young?
Give these people an opportunity to become a member of society again, they have so much to contribute.
My involvement
It was in late 2018 that I watched a TV program by Piers Morgan; it was called, "Women who kill," and this particular program featured Jennifer Mee. My reaction after watching the program was, "This is not right." I then contacted Jennifer soon after with my thoughts on the case and wrote to a couple of Florida newspapers but do not know if they were published.
I have organised a petition for Jennifer which you can sign below;

SOCIAL STATUS & AMERICAN SENTENCING

Sentencing based on social standing At high school when someone got the cane or strap, the other kids would make fun of the person if they were not that popular but if they were popular among their peers then after getting the strap or cane it would always  be, "Mr so and so is a w*****. It is the same in real life where people get treated according to their personality, attractiveness, and their social status.  As far as the American justice system is concerned, I think it would be extremely simplistic to say "Everyone is treated the same way," and the various sentences handed down by judges reflects this. The sentencing of Jennifer Mee is a prime example. She was convicted of first degree murder. What was her crime? She participated in a fatal robbery and all those who took part in a robbery where someone dies are equally guilty of murder whether were directly or indirectly involved in the death. As far as Jennifer's situation is concerned, it app

JENNIFER'S CASE HAS A CASE FOR A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON

  Jennifer Mee's case needs to be reviewed Jennifer Mee was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole after being convicted of first degree murder in 2010. She was 19 at the time.  The case Jennifer set up a date with a young man whom she had contacted on Facebook but with the intention of robbing him. Her two male friends carried out the robbery and it was during this process that one of them shot the victim. Jennifer did not ever intend for this to happen. There are three factors that need to be considered in cases involving murder because not all cases are the same. There are factors which need to be considered are determining factors in sentencing. I have come up with a list: 1. Was it premeditated/intentional? 2. Was any malice involved? 3. Was revenge a factor? The answer to these questions in Jennifer's case is, "No." Another question is, "Who's responsible for the discharge of a firearm?" Is it the person who is in possessi

Just what is the meaning of intent?

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
