Man ‘speaks to killer’ from beyond the grave in Arizona courtroom through AI video

An AI video of Christopher Pelkey forgave his killer in court in what officials believe was the first use of AI to deliver a victim impact statement.

    Not only did he allow it,

    While the state asked for a nine-and-a-half year sentence, the judge handed Horcasitas a 10-and-a-half year sentence after being so moved by the video, Pelkey’s family said, noting the judge even referred to the video in his statement.

    It has about as much evidentiary value as a ouija board, but since the victim was a veteran and involved with a church and the judge likes those things we can ignore pesky little things like standards of proof and prejudice

        Twist: the judge used AI to write his sentencing statement. It’s chat bots all the way down.
