Gianna Floyd’s video interview was played in court Friday during the sentencing hearing for Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer who is charged with murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s death.
Gianna Floyd said in the victim impact statement that she believed her dad was still with her in spirit and that she wants to know how he got hurt.
“We used to have dinner meals every single night before we went to bed," she said. "My daddy always used to help me brush my teeth."
She had a long list of things she would still have liked to do with her father. “I want to play with him, have fun, go on a plane ride.”
