Arizona man shot to death in road rage 'returns' to address his killer
Briefly

Lily Jamali reported on the poignant use of artificial intelligence in court as the family of Chris Pelkey, a victim of a road rage shooting, recreated an AI version of him to deliver a victim's impact statement. This groundbreaking moment, facilitated by Pelkey's family, sparked discussions about the implications of AI in the legal system. Despite mixed opinions on AI’s role, the judge expressed appreciation for the heartfelt message reflecting Pelkey’s forgiving spirit. The incident raises important questions about future uses of technology in similar contexts in the justice system.
To Gabriel Horcasitas, the man who shot me, it is a shame we encountered each other that day in those circumstances. In another life, we probably could have been friends.
I believe in forgiveness, and a God who forgives. I always have and I still do.
I loved that AI, thank you for that. As angry as you are, as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness.
The unique use of AI in this case could potentially set a precedent for its application in legal scenarios, raising ethical questions.
