Nephew speaks on his family's pain, requests maxium & thanks the court.
))))strength((((
😭😭😭😭 Image
Asks Chauvin "Why?"
))))strength(((( 😭💔 Image
Last victim impact statement George's brother. (No reaction from Chauvin, he is sitting back in his chair with even breathing. The judge is leaning towards the victims as they speak). 😭💔 Image

'Abuse of trust' & then back to the no blinking stare with slight flush. Image
Hard blinking and looked away when Frank was describing children being present and witness. Image
Oh FFS, Did mom try to guilt the court?

"When you sentence him, you'll sentence me."

(WTAFF 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬) Image
Chauvin gives condolences to family.

Court recesses to complete sentencing document. The breathless reporting from Court Tv is really gross. 1445

(Got to switch to NBC) Image
Count 1,

270 months sentence based on abuse of power and cruelty shown to George Floyd.

22.5 years
No guns for for rest of life. Image
