Footage has surfaced of the moment George's Floyd's family heard that Derek Chauvin had been found guilty following the fatal arrest back in May 2020.
The video in question, which you can view below, shows the family of the late Floyd watching the trial virtually while at home, and celebrating as the jury in Chauvin's trial returned a guilty verdict.
Jurors found the former Minneapolis police officer guilty on all three charges, which consisted of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter.
Take a look at this video of the family's reaction below:Chauvin now faces a maximum sentence of up to 75 years in prison for his part in the death of Floyd, after the former cop fatally restrained Floyd by kneeling on his neck for over nine minutes.
When footage of the incident emerged online, Floyd's death sparked a wave of protests across America and the entire world over the issues of police brutality and racial profiling.
Floyd's surviving relatives have since commented on the verdict in various statements made to the press in the aftermath of the trial's conclusion.
People magazine reports that George Floyd's bother Philonise Floyd stated that the family was now "able to breathe again".
Philonise also referenced 20-year-old Daunte Wright, who was shot and killed by ex Brooklyn Center policewoman Kimberly Potter during a traffic stop earlier this month.
He then went on to state that he plans to testify before Congress on behalf of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a wide-ranging bill that aims to achieve greater transparency and accountability from American police officers.
Per People, George's other brother Terrance stated:
"My family is a family that will not back down from prayer. And I believe because of prayer, we got the verdict we wanted.
"We got on our knees. Some of us stood up, but we asked the right one. We said: 'God, we need justice, we need it now,' and He answered. I'm just grateful."
Meanwhile, Floyd's eldest brother Rodney stated: "This is a victory for all of us. There is no color barrier on all of this. This is for everyone held down, pinned down [...] For George, this fight is not over."
