亚利桑那上诉法院撤销了一起道路暴力致死案件中凶手的量刑判决，理由是法官对一段AI视频的考量导致了根本性偏见。1这起案件源于2021年11月13日发生的致命枪击事件，被告人Gabriel Paul Horcasitas因此被判处10½年有期徒刑。1
受害者Christopher Pelkey的妹妹Stacey Wales在2025年5月的量刑听证会上播放了一段由AI技术生成的虚拟视频。1视频中的虚拟Pelkey对凶手表示："To Gabriel Horcasitas, the man who shot me...I believe in forgiveness."1主审法官Todd Lang随后表示他"喜爱"这个AI视频，并认为它"是真实的"。1
亚利桑那上诉法院认定，法官对该AI视频的考量使被告人Horcasitas所受程度至使量刑程序本质上不公正，因此撤销了原判的10½年量刑。1法院于2025年周三在凤凰城下达重新量刑命令。1
An Arizona appellate court has overturned the sentencing of Gabriel Paul Horcasitas, the man convicted in a fatal 2021 road rage shooting, ruling that a judge's reliance on an artificial intelligence-generated video of the deceased victim fundamentally biased the proceeding.1 The AI video, which depicted a virtual version of Christopher Pelkey—the man Horcasitas shot on November 13, 2021—was created by Pelkey's sister, Stacey Wales, and shown during Horcasitas's May 2025 sentencing hearing.1 In the video, the virtual Pelkey stated: "To Gabriel Horcasitas, the man who shot me...I believe in forgiveness."1
Judge Todd Lang expressed strong approval of the digital recreation, stating he "loved" the AI video and believed it "was real," according to the appellate decision.1 The video directly influenced Lang's decision to impose the maximum sentence of 10½ years.1 On Wednesday in Phoenix, the Arizona Court of Appeals determined that "the judge's consideration of the AI video so prejudiced Horcasitas as to render the sentencing procedure fundamentally unfair,"1 and accordingly vacated the original sentence and ordered resentencing.1
