About this episode

ABC News Correspondent Jim Ryan talks about how the family of a man killed in a road-rage shooting recreated their loved one using artificial intelligence and then presented the resulting video as a “victim impact” statement during the shooter’s sentencing. The judge said he “loved” the video before sentencing the guilty man to the maximum sentence of 10-and-a-half years in prison. What questions does this raise ethically and legally? What’s next in the legal process now? How is the family responding?
