特伦斯·弗洛伊德(Terrence Floyd)艰难地说，他的家人现在是“家庭兄弟会的一部分，而不是你喜欢的那种兄弟会。”他问肖万，“为什么?”
“我想从那个人自己身上知道，为什么?”他说。“你在想什么?当你把膝盖放在我哥哥的脖子上时，你脑子里在想什么?当你知道他不再构成威胁的时候?他戴着手铐，你为什么至少不起来?”
特伦斯·弗洛伊德(Terrence Floyd)讲述了2020年5月25日乔治·弗洛伊德(George Floyd)遇害前一个月他与哥哥的一次长谈。
“我和我哥哥的最后一次谈话是他想和我约会。他想为吉安娜和我女儿计划玩耍的日子，”他说。“女儿还小，但我还是要向她解释，因为这是历史。”

威廉姆斯要求法庭“容忍我尝试不可能的事情”，并找到合适的话来说。
“乔治的突然被杀永远地伤害了我们，”他说。“你可能看到我们哭了。但是我们的痛苦和创伤的全部程度是无法用肉眼看到的。心碎远远超出了我们能哭的眼泪的数量。言语无法表达我们的家人和朋友所经受的痛苦、折磨和折磨。”
威廉姆斯还要求最高处罚。

'Why': George Floyd's family confronts Derek Chauvin at sentencing
Before former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin wassentenced to 22 1/2 yearsfor the murder of George Floyd, members of George Floyd's family gave emotional statements asking for the maximum sentence.
Floyd's 7-year-old daughter Gianna shared a prerecorded video message at the hearing.
When asked, "Do you wish he was still here with us?" she replied, "He is."
When asked what she would say to her father if she could speak to him right now, Gianna said, "I miss you and I love him."
George Floyd's two brothers also provided victim impact statements before the sentence was announced.
Philonise Floyd had to wipe his eyes before addressing the court. He asked Judge Peter Cahill to give Chauvin the maximum sentence -- 40 years -- without the possibility for parole.
"My family and I have been given a life sentence. We will never be able to get George back," he said. "Daddies are a daughter's first love. He'll never be able to walk Gianna down the aisle at her wedding, attend those magical moments of her life."
Terrence Floyd, struggling to speak, said his family is now "part of a fraternity of families and it's not one of those fraternities that you enjoy." He asked Chauvin, "Why?"
"I wanted to know from the man himself, why?" he said. "What were you thinking? What was going through your head when you had your knee on my brother's neck? When you knew that he posed no threat anymore? He was handcuffed, why you didn't at least get up?"
Terrence Floyd recounted a long conversation he had with his brother a month before George Floyd was killed on May 25, 2020.
"The last conversation me and my brother had was he wanted to have play dates. He wanted to plan play dates for Gianna and my daughter," he said. "My daughter is still young, but I still have to explain to her because this is history."
George Floyd's nephew, Brandon Williams, called Chauvin's actions "a malicious display of hate and abuse of power" at the hearing.
"Not only did he kill George, he also displayed a total lack of consideration for human life as he did so," Williams said. "You saw it. I saw it. Millions of people across the country and the globe witnessed the agent of hate."
Williams asked the court to "bear with me as I attempt the impossible" and find the right words to say.
"The sudden murder of George has forever traumatized us," he said. "You may see us cry. But the full extent of our pain and trauma will never be seen with the naked eye. The heartbreak goes far beyond any number of tears we could cry. Words cannot express the pain, anguish and suffering our family and friends have endured."
Williams also asked for the maximum penalty.
Cahill ultimately sentenced Chauvin to 270 months in prison.
Chauvin gave a brief statement before the sentence was handed down.
"I want to give my condolences to the Floyd family," he said. "There's going to be some other information in the future that will be of interest and I hope things would give you some peace of mind. Thank you."
His mother, Carolyn Pawlenty,addressed the courton behalf of her son and pleaded for a lesser sentence.
"Derek has played over and over in his head the events of that day. I have seen the toll it has taken on him," she said. "I believe that a lengthy sentence will not serve Derek well. When you sentence my son, you will also be sentencing me."
She called her son a "quiet, thoughtful, honorable and selfless man" who has a "big heart."
Ahead of Friday afternoon's sentencing hearing, Cahill denied another attempt by Chauvin's defense for a new trial.
