Incredibly difficult case for the floyd family to have to endure. the state of minnesota, like wise. the prosecutors in this case have endured quite a bit as has mr. chauvin's family. this is a case that's changed the world to some degree. i hope it's positive. it's my hope the court followings the sentencing guidelines, applies the law in a reasoned manner and imposes a just sentence. >> thank you. mr. chauvin would you join mr. nelson at the lecturn. this is your opportunity, if you wish, to.
