In re D.S.

Superior Court of Pennsylvania · PA · United States · 2024-11-14 · 2032 EDA 2023

AdmittedAlleged deepfakevideooffered by prosecutionchallenge: authenticitysensitive matter — ruling only

The Commonwealth used an Instagram Live video allegedly showing D.S. holding a firearm. On appeal he suggested manipulation or deepfake concerns, but the Superior Court treated those arguments as waived because they were not raised at trial; authentication rested on witness recognition and platform explanation.

Rules cited: Pa.R.A.P. 302(a) · Pa.R.E. 901

The court's finding, in its words

Because D.S. did not object at trial on deepfake or manipulation grounds, the appellate court held the claim waived.
