Comment on A Judge Accepted AI Video Testimony From a Dead Man

I found this interesting. The AI said it believes in forgiveness.
“To Gabriel Horcasitas, the man who shot me, it is a shame we encountered each other that day in those circumstances,” the AI Pelkey says. “In another life we probably could have been friends. I believe in forgiveness, in God who forgives, I always have. And I still do.”
But the victim’s sister, who created the AI did it to try to get the maximum sentence for the defendant.
The prosecution against Horcasitas was only seeking nine years for the killing. The maximum was 10 and a half years. Stacey had asked the judge for the full sentence during her own impact statement. The judge granted her request, something Stacey credits—in part—to the AI video.

Yeah, a way to play both sides of pushing for a harsh sentence whole you use a puppet to drive empathy…
Should have been a slam dunk without the video.
