Florida Teens in Video-taped Beating Plead Guilty

Two Florida teenage girls who were caught on video beating up a friend who was "trash-talking" them have now plead guilty and could face up to a year in detention. Though the beating was never posted to YouTube, the victim had planned to - and regardless the case became known as the "YouTube beating case."



Probably the most famous case of personal violence caught on tape in the past few months was the BART shooting in Oakland, in which a citizen captured a police officer shooting a man on a BART platform, seemingly unprovoked. While security cameras caught the same incident, it was the citizen's cell-phone version that caught the most compelling angle and demonstrated that the officer seemed to show a level of shock when he realized he's shot the man.



Here at YouTube we call this 360 degree reporting... events everywhere not only have the chance of being caught on video by someone somehow, but there's also the likelihood that multiple angles of the same event can provide a clearer sense of what happened than ever before.
