During and after the sentencing, several celebrities and notable names weighed in. Cher, for instance, spoke of Chauvin's mother addressing the court. "Understand Chauvin's Mom Not Wanting Her Son 2 Be Gone, But GEORGE FLOYD'S MOM WILL 'NEVER' SEE HER SON AGAIN," the singer wrote. "Chauvin's Lawyer Said 'If Only He Hadn't Gone 2 Work That Day,Answered That call.' I SAY 'IF ONLY HE HADNT PUT HIS WEIGHT ON GEORGE'S NECK FOR 9 MINS.' HE HAD 9 MINS 2 STOP."
