Demand the Release of Jennifer Mee: Wrongfully Incarcerated in Florida

The Issue

This petition is deeply personal to me and many others who believe in the fair application of justice. Jennifer Mee, like many others, was convicted of felony murder under Florida state law despite not having committed the act of murder herself. During a robbery, a crime she has shown remorse for, a murder occurred. According to Florida law, this implicates her in the murder as well.

Jennifer's case is not unique; there are countless individuals serving life sentences for murders they did not personally commit but were involved in due to other crimes. While it is agreed that these individuals should face consequences for their actions, life imprisonment seems excessively harsh when they did not commit the ultimate crime themselves.

The principle behind this law is known as "felony-murder rule," which holds any participant in certain types of felonies liable for any deaths that occur during or in furtherance of that felony (Source: Cornell Law School). However, critics argue it can lead to disproportionate sentencing especially when applied without discretion.

It's time we reevaluate how our legal system handles such cases and consider whether our laws are truly serving justice or simply perpetuating an unjust system. We call on lawmakers and legal authorities to revisit Jennifer Mee's case specifically and reconsider the broad application of felony-murder rule generally within Florida state law.
