ATLANTA — A prosecutor is in trouble after the Georgia Supreme Court questioned her about submitting fake documents. The assistant District Attorney’s boss said it’s a good guess she used AI to write the documents. The query over the documents came at the end of oral arguments where convicted murderer Hannah Payne asked the high court to grant her a new trial. That’s when the Chief Justice Nels S.D. Peterson dropped a bombshell. He told Clayton County Assistant District Attorney Deborah Leslie: “So before you sit down. One more thing I need to ask you about. Unfortunately.” Justice Peterson seemed hesistant to give Leslie the bad news. But he told her in reviewing the Clayton County Superior Court’s motion denying Payne a new trial, he noticed something unusual in the state’s order. “There are at least 5 citations to cases that don’t exist,” Peterson pointed out. He went on to say there’s at least 5 more questionable citations from the state. Including citations that have 3 quotations that don’t exist. He wanted to know if Leslie submitted the phantom cases. “No, your honor. I do not believe so. They were not,” she replied. Leslie says she prepared an order, but it was revise
