In her first television interview, Rachel Robidoux told The Today Show on Friday that her daughter Jennifer Mee - better known as the "Hiccup Girl" -  "doesn't understand the severity of what's going on right now."

"Does she comprehend what she's facing now, first-degree murder charges?"  Today show host Matt Lauer asked Robidoux.

"I don't think so," Robidoux responded. "She said the last time I saw her that she hopes she's home for Christmas."

Mee made national headlines in 2007 for her 5-week bout of hiccuping, which doctors later linked to her Tourette's Syndrome.

The mother of teenage “Hiccup Girl” Jennifer Mee has told RadarOnline.com that her daughter’s Tourette’s syndrome played a role in her involvement with a horrific murder case.

The infamous teenager and two men are accused of killing Shannon Griffin, 22, in a robbery on October 23 for between $50 and $60 in St Petersburg, Florida, which went tragically wrong.

Mee, Lamont Antonio Newton, 22, and Laron Cordale Raiford, 20, were arrested October 24 on charges of first-degree murder – they are all being held without bail.
