Sewell

Landscape designers Courtney Bonifacini and Gary Sewell, who both lost their homes, said their garden project, which involved creating a serene outdoor space, became a welcome distraction and a source of solace for them.

Courtney Bonifacini and Gary Sewell of GardZen weren’t planning to install a yin and yang feature in the Zen Garden, but after the devastating loss of both their homes in the Eaton fire, they felt it was appropriate.

Garcia alleged in a federal lawsuit that the platform’s chatbots harmed the mental health of her son Sewell Setzer III and the Menlo Park, Calif., company failed to notify her or offer help when he expressed suicidal thoughts to these virtual characters.

Jonathan Brown, 39, from Whinney Hill in Dundonald and 46-year-old Mark Sewell of Glenmount Drive in Newtownabbey, were told they will serve a minimum of 17 and a half years before they can be considered for parole.

Character.AI also noted in its motion that the chatbot discouraged Sewell from hurting himself and his last messages with the character doesn’t mention the word suicide.
