U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner is set to go on trial in a Moscow-area court Friday, about 4 1/2 months after she was arrested on cannabis possession charges at an airport while traveling to play for a Russian team.
The Phoenix Mercury center and two-time U.S. Olympic gold medalist could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted of large-scale transportation of drugs. Fewer than 1% of defendants in Russian criminal cases are acquitted, and unlike in the U.S., acquittals can be overturned.
At a closed-door preliminary hearing Monday in the Moscow suburb of Khimki, Griner's detention was extended for another six months, to Dec. 20.

Zero sympathy for this demented ho.
ZERO.
The Russians will convict her and will sentence her to 10 years in prison.
The whinababy press in the USA will then go into Free Brittney mode.
“U.S. basketball star“
Find 2 people even who know who this “start” is.
Lock her up! (but Russia would be very smart if she sent her perverted, drug addicted azz back to America)
She’s in the middle of getting a couple of lessons.
1. That American laws aren’t world wide (its amazing how many Americans think that’s the case)
2. How good she’s got it here in the US.
3. Most of the rest of the world doesn’t give a shit about her perceived superior leftist minority homosexual status.
Whether those lessons sink in is doubtful.
Let her rot.
Russia is treating her more fairly than we are treating the J6 prisoners.
Sometimes I wish FR had a like button.
You are exactly correct. I don’t know why she doesn’t renounce her US citizenship and become a russian citizen.
Athletic people think like Celebrities.....they can do what they want and get away with it. She’s got a hard lesson to learn unless Biden rescues her....he shouldn’t.
Give it a bit of time. Maybe about 10 years, in general population.
Yeah, it looks like those Russians never learn.
Griner’s ‘wife’, Cherelle, has urged President Joe Biden to secure her release.
So she’s a lesbo.
Yeah, I just can't understand those Russians.
biden will give her lesbo wife here, POW allowance $$$ as long as Russia keeps her there.
So Russia is killing two stones with one lockup.
1) punish her for drug trafficking
2) punish her for promoting LGBT in Russia
They say pot is “not addictive” but there seem to be many people who can’t go more than a few days without it.
Not really.
I put nothing past this Administration at all...they’re capable and willing to use and abuse any situation if they can work it in their favor.
