乔治·弗洛伊德的家人重温了他在德里克·肖万审判中的死亡

2021-04-02 11:30   美国新闻网   - 

当全世界都在关注前警官德里克·肖万因2020年乔治·弗洛伊德之死而受审时,弗洛伊德的家人表示,他们不会让他的记忆受到玷污。

当弗洛伊德的死亡视频去年在网上发布时,它唤醒了对美国黑人的警务和歧视的新思考。许多人说,他们期待着审判,看看警察是否会对未来执勤时的暴力和死亡负责。

弗洛伊德的哥哥特伦斯·弗洛伊德在接受美国广播公司新闻直播采访时说:“能在法庭上再次听到他们谈论整个案件,并在法庭上看到肖万,感觉有点超现实、紧张和情绪化。”。

特伦斯·弗洛伊德哀悼他的兄弟乔治·弗洛伊德,他于2020年5月在警方拘留中死亡。

肖万面临三项指控:二级非故意谋杀、三级谋杀和较轻的二级过失杀人罪。他拒不认罪。

弗洛伊德,46岁,死于2020年5月25日,因涉嫌使用伪造的20美元钞票购买香烟而被捕。视频显示,白人警察肖万跪在弗洛伊德的后颈上超过九分钟,而弗洛伊德则反复喊着:“我不能呼吸了。”

自周一审判开始以来,各种证人对他们在致命逮捕中看到的情况提供了情绪化的证词。

“所有的证人,我只是听他们说,我看到不仅我们的家庭,弗洛伊德的家庭,必须重温这一点,他们也必须重温这一点,”特伦斯·弗洛伊德说,他当时在场。“所以,我也想把我的祈祷送给他们,因为他们实际上也和我们一样在重温它。”

前警官J·亚历山大·库恩(J. Alexander Kueng)和另外两名警官托马斯·莱恩(Thomas Lane)和图·陶(Tou Thao)被控协助和教唆二级谋杀和过失杀人。肖万和那三名警官都被解雇了。昆、莱恩和陶定于8月开始审判,但尚未正式认罪。

弗洛伊德的姐姐布里奇特·弗洛伊德周四上午参观了明尼阿波利斯的救世军食品配送中心。她把食物装在箱子里,就像她哥哥在市里的救世军工作时一样,并说她这样做是为了纪念他。

布里奇特·弗洛伊德周一告诉美国广播公司新闻,她拒绝观看开场陈述。

“我还没准备好看我哥哥被谋杀的视频,”她说。

布里奇特·弗洛伊德也参与了辩方关于在她哥哥体内发现的药物导致他死亡的论点。

“他们会想尽一切办法让这位警官看起来不差。但全世界都看到了他的遭遇,”她说。“他们说在他体内发现的药物并没有杀死他...[是]压在他脖子上的压力。这对我来说并不奇怪,但有一点是肯定的...全世界都看到了我哥哥是如何离开这个世界的。”

今年3月,弗洛伊德的家人以2700万美元的价格与明尼阿波利斯市议会达成和解。肖万的审判预计将持续大约四周。

特伦斯·弗洛伊德说他对司法系统充满信心。

“我相信正义会得到伸张,”他说。“我实际上是把我的信任放在制度上,我希望他们不要让我失望。”

George Floyd's family relives his death during Derek Chauvin trial

As the world watches the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin for the death of George Floyd in 2020, Floyd’s family say they refuse to let his memory be tarnished.

When video of Floyd’s death was posted online last year, it awoke a new reckoning on policing and discrimination of Black people in the United States. Many say they are looking to the trial to see whether police officers will be held accountable for violence and deaths while on duty in the future.

“To actually be in the courtroom and hear them talking about the whole case again and actually seeing Chauvin in the courtroom, it was kind of surreal and intense and emotional,” Floyd’s brother, Terrence Floyd, told ABC News Live.

Chauvin faces three charges: second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and a lesser charge of second-degree manslaughter. He has pleaded not guilty.

Floyd, 46, died May 25, 2020, while being arrested for allegedly using a counterfeit $20 bill to buy cigarettes. Video showed Chauvin, a white police officer, kneeling on the back of Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes while Floyd repeatedly cried out, "I can't breathe."

Since the trial began on Monday, a variety of witnesses have delivered emotional testimonies of what they saw during the fatal arrest.

“All the witnesses, I just listen to them, and I see that not only do our family, the Floyd family, have to relive this, they have to relive this, too,” said Terrence Floyd, who was present in the courtroom. “So, I just want to send my prayers out to them too, because they’re actually reliving it as we are as well.”

Former officers J. Alexander Kueng and two other officers, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao, were charged with aiding and abetting both second-degree murder and manslaughter. Chauvin and those three officers were all fired. Kueng, Lane and Thao are scheduled to begin their trial in August and have not yet formally entered a plea.

Floyd’s sister, Bridgett Floyd, visited a Salvation Army food distribution center in Minneapolis on Thursday morning. She loaded boxes with food, as her brother did when he worked at a Salvation Army in the city, and said she was doing it to honor him.

Bridgett Floyd told ABC News on Monday she refused to watch the opening statements.

"I am not ready to see the video of my brother being murdered," she said.

Bridgett Floyd also weighed in on the defense's argument that drugs found in her brother's system caused his death.

"They would find any way possible for this police officer to not look bad. But the whole world saw what happened to him," she said. "The drugs that they say they found in his system did not kill him ... [it] was the pressure that was kneeled down in his neck. It’s not surprising to me but one thing's for sure ... the world [has] seen how my brother left this world."

In March, Floyd’s family settled with the Minneapolis City Council for $27 million. Chauvin's trial is expected to last about four weeks.

Terrence Floyd said he’s putting his confidence in the justice system.

“I’m confident justice will be served,” he said. “I’m actually putting my trust in the system, and I hope they don’t fail me."
