George Floyd must receive justice, his family said ahead of opening arguments Monday in the trial of the white police officer accused of killing the Black man, whose death ignited protests against racism and police brutality across the United States and around the world. “I have a big hole right now in my heart. It can’t be patched up … I need justice for George. We need a conviction,” Floyd’s brother said. Derek Chauvin, a veteran of the Minneapolis Police Department, faces murder and manslaughter charges for his role in the May 25, 2020 death of the 46-year-old Floyd. Chauvin, 44, who was fired from the police force along with three other officers, could be sentenced to up to 40 years in prison if convicted of the most serious charge — second-degree murder. “I have faith that he will get convicted,” Philonise Floyd said Sunday. Floyd’s cause of death is expected to be the main issue in the case, and a key piece of evidence is the viral video which showed the exact moment the office leaned on the deceased neck there by restricted his airflow all because he used a counterfeit $20 bill.
