This week on Case of the Week with Kelly Twigger, we explore a groundbreaking decision from Frazier v. Se. Ga. Health Sys., Inc., involving alleged fabrication of video evidence in a medical malpractice lawsuit. The case, presided over by Judge Lisa Wood, highlights critical issues surrounding the authenticity of video evidence and the use of a court's inherent authority to impose sanctions.

While this video was not AI-generated or a deepfake, it provides a fascinating glimpse into how courts evaluate fabricated evidence and offers key takeaways for anticipating similar challenges with emerging technologies.

Kelly dives into the Court’s analysis, including findings of bad faith, fraud on the Court, and the decision to dismiss the case with prejudice. Learn how litigators can address authenticity concerns early, leverage the Court’s inherent authority when procedural rules fall short, and safeguard their cases against the rising threat of manipulated digital evidence.
