Wisconsin Judge Sanctions DA Over Undisclosed AI Use, Dismisses Burglary Case

The ruling followed undisclosed AI-generated citations the judge deemed false.

Overview

  • Circuit Court Judge David Hughes struck District Attorney Xavier Solis’ AI-influenced filing after Solis acknowledged he did not disclose using AI.
  • The court dismissed the burglary and property-damage case without prejudice, leaving open the possibility of refiling.
  • The judge also found the state failed to establish probable cause based on evidence from an earlier preliminary hearing, according to the defense and court records.
  • Court filings referenced “hallucinated and false citations,” including a Nebraska construction law and an imaginary citation flagged by the defense.
  • Solis, elected in 2024 after working as a defense attorney, issued a statement acknowledging a citation error and saying his office takes accuracy and disclosure obligations seriously.
