The plight of female basketball star Brittney Griner relating to her arrest on drug charges in Russia earlier this year is even more uncertain than ever. Yesterday in a court near Moscow, the legal prosecution of Ms. Griner finally began, with her trial kicking off in an abbreviated session. Prosecutors had intended to call on four witnesses, but only two showed up to give testimony.
Cameras were not allowed in the courtroom, but footage of Griner entering the proceedings showed her sporting a white and black Jimi Hendrix t-shirt. Media reports after the court had adjourned explained that during her time in the courtroom, Griner was kept inside of a metal jail where she had cookies and water available as refreshments.

Medusa!
She’s been playing for the other team long before she joined the WNBA.
Yup. Even in the US. To me it is obviously stupid, but people do it all the time here.
A few years in the gulag will give her time to reassess her hatred of America.
Some good news, for a change...

What else should you expect from a person carrying hash in the luggage on international flight?
Probably should have read or watched “Midnight Express” before smuggling hash oil.
I could rehash all my comments on this thread to answer you, or you could read my other comments on this thread.
I might start getting concerned after the political prisoners in the Washington D.C. jail are released.
Perhaps the same in Russia if they have this gal held in a cage within the courtroom. It is more of a psychological thing rather than a security measure.
You’re correct. Thanks.
Here I was, thinking I was talking legalese! Lol.
Until February 24, 2022, probably true.
Brittney Griner is black and a lesbian. So if Joe is unable to get her back from Russia, blacks and gays will still vote for Joe in 2024. So right now Brittney Griner has no leverage. Right now, so why would Joe release a valuable prisoner for Brittney Griner? Tough luck. Should had voted for Trump. More likely to make a deal to get her released.
“She could be exchanged for several high ranking KGB officers”
