According to U.S. media such as Fox 10 TV, the AI (artificial intelligence) restoration video of victim Christopher Felkey (37) was wrong in the trial of Gabriel Hokacitas (50), who was charged with manslaughter on the 5th (local time).
The incident took place on a road in Chandler, Arizona, in 2021, when Hokashitas shot and killed Felkey after a driving dispute.
The video was produced by the families of the victims who died in the shooting at the request of a specialized company.
Upon request from the family, the court allowed the AI video to be played in court.
The victim in the video was wearing a gray baseball cap without a logo, a light green zip hoodie, and was rich in red beard.
The family explained that it was made by substituting age into a picture of one's life.
The victim was seen in the video saying to Gabriel Horcitas, the man who shot me, it is shameful that we encountered each other in such a situation that day. If we had met somewhere else in a different environment, we could probably have been friends. "I believe in God who practiced forgiveness. It always was, and it still is."
The purpose was to lower the sentence of the perpetrator, Hokashitas, because the victim forgave him.
In fact, this line was produced based on a script made by the victim's sister.
She said "I wanted to convey the love and authenticity that my brother had always practiced to the perpetrators, as well as the judges and those in the court."
The judge sentenced the defendant to 10 and a half years in prison after saying "I was moved by the AI video."
