Setting aside the black-letter legal issues (I'm certainly not an expert on victim impact statements or evidence law), this is absolutely BONKERS.
"It was the first time in Arizona judicial history — and possibly nationwide — that AI has been used to create a deceased victim’s own impact statement"

Exhibit #7,682 that we're living in the absolute dumbest timeline: "'Non-Human Behavior' . . . includ[es] . . . using a litter box for the passing of stool, urine, or other human byproducts."
Gov. Greg Abbott backs bill banning 'non-human' behavior in schools
The bill is based on debunked claims that public schools were encouraging so-called furries. Lawmakers have used the claims to funnel public funds to private schools.

To quantify the *alleged* corruption here by comparing it to, oh I don't know, the most generous sum total of all the bribes and kickbacks that exchanged hands during the Teapot Dome Scandal (adjusted for inflation, of course!), this would be 254x more corrupt than the Teapot Dome Scandal.
