George Floyd’s family have spoken in court of the pain they felt over his murder and asked for the maximum punishment for former police officer Derek Chauvin.

“On behalf of me and my family, we seek the maximum penalty. We don’t want to see no more slaps on the wrist. We’ve been through that already,” said a tearful Terrence Floyd, one of Mr Floyd’s brothers.
