8.1
Relevance Score
On Friday, Judge David Hughes in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, dismissed dozens of property-damage and theft-related counts and sanctioned Republican District Attorney Xavier Solis for failing to disclose using AI in legal filings. Hughes cited "hallucinated and false citations" in the prosecution's paperwork; the defendants, Cornelius Garrett and Christain Garrett, had been charged with 71 combined counts in 2023. The DA's office may still re-file the cases.
