The Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that Gabriel Paul Horcasitas must be resentenced for the 2021 shooting death of Christopher Pelkey due to an AI-generated video of the victim speaking in court. The video, created by Pelkey's family, expressed thoughts imagined by his sister and was deemed inappropriate by the court. Despite the murder conviction standing, Horcasitas will undergo a new sentencing process.
