If I can't use AI-generated video as evidence or a character witness, you shouldn't be able to use it in sentencing either.

> Neither the defense nor the judge pushed back. Later in the hearing, Judge Todd Lang said, "I loved that AI. Thank you for that."

Lawyer should be up for malpractice here.

> 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.

Gross.
