Here's a recent example of AI used in the courtroom by woman to create a victim impact statement for her deceased brother at his killer's sentencing. The article doesn't reference the video generator that was it used, but it may have been HeyGen or a similar tool.

Article: "He was killed in a road rage incident. His family used AI to bring him to the courtroom to address his killer." (CNN, 5/9/25)

Excerpt: "AI is increasingly playing a role in legal and criminal justice processes, although this is believed to be the first time AI has been used to recreate a victim for their own impact statement. And experts say the world will increasingly have to grapple with ethical and practical questions about the use of AI to replicate deceased people - both inside courtrooms and beyond them - as the technology becomes more human-like.
