Terrence Floyd, the younger brother of George Floyd, asked the court for the maximum sentence for his brother's killer, saying if the roles were reversed the sentence would be harsh.
"On behalf of me and my family, we seek the maximum penalty," he said, his voice shaking with emotion. "We don't want to see no more slaps on the wrist. We've been through that already... no, no, no, no."
He said he believed if it had been a Black man killing a White man there would be little doubt what kind of verdict the court would hand down.
"If it was us, if the roles was reversed, there wouldn't be no case," he said. "It would have been open and shut. We'd have been under the jail for murdering somebody. So, we ask for that same penalty for Derek Chauvin."
Earlier in his statement, Floyd also spoke to the impact the loss of his brother had on him and his family, and recounted the final conversation he said he had with his brother, in which they were planning play dates with his own daughter and George's daughter, Gianna.
"That can't happen," he said.
