Focus: Cara Lynn Murphy

Charges (now Nolle Prosequi/dropped):
Felony Kidnapping with intent to terrorize and/or cause bodily injury
Misdemeanor battery

Facts:
16-years old.

Seen very briefly in the couch part of the video as the camera turns.

Wearing a red tank top in video.

Slept over at April Cooper's residence after the incident.

Expressed a light amount of remorse in a press conference after her charges were dropped.

Was not seen hitting the victim in the released portions of the video.

She says she did not take the situation seriously because she witnessed acts of violence at school before.

Victim alleges that she at one point held the video device (although she did not film any of the released video).

Analysis and speculation:
Most likely was not part of the planning of the beating.

Most likely did not actively aid in the battery or kidnapping.

Was the least culpable of the six girls.

planning of the beating.

Was the beating planned or are you speculating?
