Judge Wears VR Headset To View Defendant's Account Of Events And What Fresh Hell Is This?
Briefly

A judge has permitted the use of virtual reality in court to showcase a defendant's perspective in a Stand Your Ground case, raising serious ethical concerns.
The Stand Your Ground law enables a preemptive determination by judges, which can lead to charges being dismissed before they even reach trial, complicating justice.

The use of VR as a visual aid in legal proceedings risks reducing complex situations to simplistic representations, undermining the gravity of real-life altercations.
