Some of George Floyd’s family members on Friday called Derek Chauvin’s 22 1/2-year sentence for murder in his death insufficient, while others expressed optimism that it would be an impetus for change.
One of Floyd’s brothers, Rodney Floyd, called the sentence a slap on the wrist.
Weve suffered a life sentence for not having him in our life, and that hurts me to death, he said.
Another brother, Terrence Floyd, said he was a little leery about the sentencing until he had a dream in which his father appeared.
I knew my father was saying, Youre good. hes good. keep doing what youre doing. For me, for your brother, for you name,’ he said. Were Floyd strong and were gonna stay strong.
Nephew Brandon Williams said the sentence wasn’t harsh enough.
We were served a life sentence. We cant get George back,” he said.
