The mother of Ahmaud Arbery expressed gratitude Thanksgiving morning for the guilty verdicts of the three men who killed her son, calling the moment "bittersweet."
"This is the second Thanksgiving that my family and I will share without Ahmaud," Wanda Cooper-Jones said in an interview on CNN's "New Day" Thursday. "But this is the first Thanksgiving that we can look at that empty chair and say, 'We finally got justice for you, Ahmaud.'"
Cooper-Jones' comments came the morning after three men -- father and son Gregory and Travis McMichael, and their neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan Jr. -- were found guilty in Arbery's killing on multiple counts of murder, among other charges.
