Comment on A Judge Accepted AI Video Testimony From a Dead Man
LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 1 day agoYour emotions don’t always line up with “what you know” this is why evidence rules exist in court. Humans don’t work that way. This is why there can be mistrials if specific kinds of evidence is revealed to the jury that shouldn’t have been shown.
Digital reenactments shouldn’t be allowed, even with disclaimers to the court. It is fiction and has no place here.

Sure, but not for victim impact statements. Hearsay, speculation, etc. have always been fair game for victim impact statements, and victim statements aren’t even under oath. Plus the other side isn’t allowed to cross examine them. It’s not evidence, and it’s not “testimony” in a formal sense (because it’s not under oath or under penalty of perjury).
