Cara Murphy is one of the six girls accused of beating teenager Victoria Lindsay with the intent of posting a video of the incident on YouTube and MySpace to embarrass her. The six girls, along with two boys who allegedly served as 'lookouts' have been charged with felony battery, and assault. Three of the girls, Brittini Hardcastle, Mercades Nichols, and Britney Mayes have additionally been charged with felony kidnapping.
According to the sheriff's office, Murphy is the girl that held the video camera through the 30 minutes of tape, and recorded the beating.
