At the time of the sentencing, the judge who oversaw the case, Todd Lang, seemed to appreciate the use of AI.

"I loved that AI, thank you for that. As angry as you are, as justifiably angry as the family is, I heard the forgiveness," Judge Lang said. "I feel that that was genuine."

It was from the sister/family, so probably her victim impact statement after being found guilty but before sentencing.They can say anything they want, really. Kind of the family's way of saying, "We hate you but he would forgive you, so we do too." Just a really weird medium to do that with.

Of course if this was somehow used as evidence or was used before verdict, what the fuck. Though I can't imagine a judge and a defence lawyer just letting that slide.
