ana, something that stands out if you listen to the pain in the story omar did, think about the pain the family here had almost 700 days ago. i remember wanda cooper jones basically saying she would not stop until the killers of her son were brought to justice. in the state case, that happened. the jury found the three men guilty. now there s this federal court case. i m not sure how we move forward on monday because there s jury selection but everyone in this community knows there was a plea deal that the judge basically rejected. that plea deal was pulled back but at one point they pulled those pleas back. and ahmaud arbery s father spoke about wanting justice for his son. i just got one word to say. all we want is 100% justice to the arbery family. that s all we re looking for. god be the glory. so you think about this, ana. this court case will start on
