The whole thing is messed up.

The video was created by the sister of the victim based on what she imagined he would say.

The video asked for leniency. But the family of the victim formally asked for the maximum sentence. So there is a conflict here between the video made by the family and what the family asked for - I don't understand why the video was made at all.

The maximum sentence to the accused was handed down, against the wishes of the AI video.

So they are throwing out the maximum sentence based on the AI video asking for leniency?

Regardless of this mess, AI videos of victims saying made up things should not be allowed at all.
