If I can&#x27;t use AI-generated video as evidence or a character witness, you shouldn&#x27;t be able to use it in sentencing either.<p>&gt; Neither the defense nor the judge pushed back. Later in the hearing, Judge Todd Lang said, &quot;I loved that AI. Thank you for that.&quot;<p>Lawyer should be up for malpractice here.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.abc15.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;region-southeast-valley&#x2F;chandler&#x2F;family-uses-ai-to-create-video-for-deadly-chandler-road-rage-victims-own-impact-statement" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.abc15.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;region-southeast-valley&#x2F;chandler&#x2F;...</a><p>&gt; The state asked for a 9.5-year sentence, and the judge ended up giving Horcasitas 10.5 years for manslaughter, after being so moved by the powerful video, family says.<p>Gross.
