Former NFL player charged with girlfriend's murder consulted ChatGPT, detectives testify During a preliminary hearing on murder charges, jurors heard Darron Lee recount his account of finding his girlfriend unresponsive at their Ooltewah home. Police body camera footage played in court showed Lee describing the moment he discovered Gabriella Carvalho Perpétuo, his fiancée, unresponsive inside their residence. Detectives testified that forensic analysis using BlueStar technology confirmed the presence of blood at the scene, raising immediate concerns about the circumstances of her death. Prosecutors revealed that Lee had sought advice from the AI chatbot ChatGPT after the incident. A question he reportedly posed to the platform detailed his confusion over Perpétuo’s condition: “Don’t know what to do right now. Fiancee [sic] did her crazy thing again and now she’s messed up, I wake up and she has two swollen eyes (I didn’t do anything, self-inflicted) she stabbed herself, slit her eye? Idk but she isn’t waking up or responding, what do I do?” The prosecution highlighted ChatGPT’s response, which included guidance on how to handle the situation without involving law enforcement. District Attorney Coty Wamp criticized Lee for using the AI as a “legal advisor” and “defense attorney,” arguing it provided him with instructions to conceal evidence. Lee faces first-degree murder charges in Perpétuo’s death, which authorities confirmed occurred last month when deputies found her body inside a home on Snow Cone Way. Investigators emphasized that the crime scene indicated a violent struggle, with injuries inconsistent with an accidental fall. Prosecutors previously stated the victim sustained blunt force trauma and multiple other wounds, suggesting a deliberate act of violence.#chatgpt #darron_lee #gabriella_carvalho_perpetuo #snow_cone_way #coty_wamp
