Former Ohio State player Darron Lee is embroiled in legal trouble for the alleged murder of his fiancée. He has been charged with the murder and with tampering with evidence in the death of Gabriella Perpetuo. Lee was back on court on Monday, as new evidence was presented by the prosecution in the case.
Among the evidence presented was Darron Lee’s ChatGPT chat history, which included the following prompt message on the day of Perpetuo’s death:
“Fiancé did her crazy thing again and now she’s messed up. I wake up and she has two swollen eyes (I didn’t do anything, self-inflicted), she stabbed herself, slit her eye? Idk but she isn’t waking up or responding, what do I do?”
Other prompt messages related to Perpetuo’s stab wounds were also released by the prosecution. The case goes back to early February, when the police were called to a home near Ooltewah Elementary School in Chattanooga, Tennessee. There, they found Lee’s girlfriend suffering from multiple injuries. Emergency services personnel performed life-saving measures, but she was pronounced dead there.
According to police reports, the former Ohio State player told them that she had fallen in the shower. However, they immediately realized that the amount of blood was inconsistent with Lee’s version of events. The victim suffered a stab wound, a bruise on her head, black eyes, and a bite mark on her shoulder, according to court records.
