The Defendants said they acted in self-defence during a citizen's arrest; prosecutors said race was a factor.
The Men now face minimum sentences of life in prison.
A jury of one Black Man and 11 white men and women deliberated for about 10 hours before returning their verdict at around midday on Tuesday.

The Jury heard a 911 call in which The Elder McMichael told An Operator : " I'm Out Here in Satilla Shores. There's a black male running down The Street . "
The younger McMichael testified during The Trial that he tried to talk to Arbery while the two were still in their truck and Arbery never responded.

Three shots were fired.
A post-mortem examination showed Arbery had two gunshot wounds in his chest, and a gunshot graze wound on The Inside of one of his wrists.
Gregory McMichael, 65, his son Travis, 35, and their neighbour William " Roddie" Bryan, 52, were arrested in May 2020.
