AI Error Led to Parole Silence Lift | Perth News
Description
A parole gag order that silenced convicted murderer Susan Neill-Fraser for years has been officially lifted after it was revealed the board’s decision was based on AI-generated fake documents — complete with invented court cases. Now 72, Neill-Fraser, who maintains her innocence and served 13 years for killing her partner Bob Chappell in 2009, is free to speak publicly again. The Supreme Court of Tasmania ruled the restriction unlawful and procedurally flawed, noting the AI hallucinations undermined fairness. The parole board had already withdrawn the condition in August, choosing not to contest its removal. Neill-Fraser thanked supporters and reaffirmed her commitment to clearing her name while calling for justice for others wrongly convicted. Officials are now reviewing how AI is used in legal decisions to prevent future errors.
