George Floyd family attorney, Antonio Romanucci, told CNN on Wednesday the Floyd family is suffering as new video of George Floyd s death played during the trial of Derek Chauvin. This is very hard for them now, to see new footage, new angles, said Romanucci to CNN s Wolf Blitzer. They re hearing the visceral groans and grunts. The grueling aspect of George fighting for his life. It s just unimaginable.
According to Romanucci, through such an emotional stage in the trial, the family has found security amongst themselves. They have quite a number of people there in Minnesota, he said. Nobody has any return trips home, nobody is planning on leaving, and they can only find comfort in themselves.
