    Not sure why this was ever allowed; Regardless of what you make the AI say, this seems like a pretty open-and-shut case of hearsay to me. You are purporting to speak for someone else, but it's really the sisters words.

      The hearsay rule generally does not apply during sentencing hearings. Generally you challenge things in victim impact statements on due process grounds.
