She’s still getting a fairer trial than Trump is.

Too bad. I have less than zero sympathy for this triple loser. Besides, she’ll find “companionship” in jail, I’m sure. Followed by a “divorce” by her “wife”.

Also, great court attire! 🙄 Shows a malignancy in her brain connections at best.

You two are on the same wave length and I agree.

Anybody that’s ever taken a cruise realizes early on that when you get out to sea your not in the US anymore.

A lot of those crew members couldn’t give 2 shits about your American rights and privileges...and why should they?

Some countries I’ve been to, people will lean on you JUST BECAUSE your an American.

I was fortunate enough to learn “American in a foreign country” lesson early on in life when we got stationed in Italy.

A lesson I never forgot to be sure.

She apparently thought she was above the law since she was a star basketball player.

She thought she would be treated like the children of oligarchs, who could probably do all the drugs they want.

And she was right. Until relations worsened between Russia and the U.S., and an example needed to be made.

“The WNBA is half step above midget wrestling.”

At least midget wrestlers pay their own way.

The WNBA is subsidized by the NBA—it is welfare basketball.

She burned a lot of bridges—finally starting to figure it out...

There's a lot of Conservative Inc. nonsense in this article.

In Russian criminal trials, the success rate of the prosecution is 99%, giving Griner about a 1% likelihood to get off, barring any other type of side deal between the governments. To win 99% of one’s cases means there must be some pretty shrewd prosecutorial attorneys over there. Or, alternatively, perhaps those accused of crimes in Russia are not afforded the same basic rights as those of us here in the U.S. That big, bad, mean old United States that Griner likes to trash.

Actually, U.S. prosecutors also have high conviction rates, especially if you include all the people pressured to accept plea deals.

And seeing how the January 6th protestors (among others) are treated, I wouldn't celebrate Americans' Rights And Freedoms! the way this article does. It's no longer 1950s America.

Ironic that she’s an America hater and her only hope is America.

Che Guevara was in a similar situation until Bolivia decided to do it’s own thing. Perhaps Russia will do the same to her?

We once went back to USA a week early because my son & his friend, along for the trip, were sneaking out at night to go drinking, both were underage.
We couldn’t take the risk that he would be arrested in Ireland and there would be a “situation”.

Maybe this ungrateful unpatriotic chick will learn to be more grateful for America.

Right, 10 yrs. hard labor in Siberia sounds good.

I hope she gets the full 10 years but released earlier after she pays all of her wealth in bribes.

Hi.

Someone else said on a similar thread that she would be found guilty, given the maximum sentence and will be exchanged for a Russian spy.

The Bell Curve never lies.

That thing doesn't even look human.
