High court claimant was fed answers through his smart glasses, judge finds

6 hours ago

A claimant was caught using smart glasses to receive answers during court testimony in London.
Judge Raquel Agnello KC ruled that Laimonas Jakštys was untruthful about using smart glasses and that his statements were prepared by others.
Defense counsel Sarah Walker noticed interference, later confirmed by the interpreter, leading to Jakštys being asked to remove his glasses.
Jakštys's mobile phone broadcasted a voice during testimony, revealing someone was communicating with him via the glasses and phone.
Judge Agnello dismissed Jakštys's claim that the voice was from ChatGPT as lacking credibility.
The judge concluded Jakštys was being coached during cross-examination, making his testimony unreliable.
Jakštys's evidence was rejected entirely, and the judge ruled in favor of the defendants.
Defense counsel Sarah Walker noted this case may signal a growing issue with technology in courtrooms.
