Brittney Griner Makes First Russian Court Appearance Since Guilty Plea
source
99% conviction rate. Good luck. Im sure she wants to go back “home” to America, the country that many athletes like herself love to bash and refuse to stand for when the national anthem is played. Terrible situation for her and I know, despite her being anti America, that America will do all it can to bring back one of their own regardless of their hate.
Crossing International border with drugs? Enjoy prison…..
How are you going to plead guilty to not knowing that drugs in your luggage was illegal.
She needs to stay in a Russian jail cell and contemplate just EXACTLY all the USA freedoms she badmouthed and MAYBE she'll appreciate those freedoms in hindsight.
Then she shouldn't have had the weed with her in Russia Duh!
It doesn’t matter what she says, she’s telling a lie & common sense tells you that know matter how fast you’re packing; you picked up the drugs that you always smoke; you looked at the drugs you always smoke; and you then put the drugs you always smoke in your on luggage! Now how ironic; you all of a sudden remember that you had the drugs that you always smoke; but you didn’t mean to brake the law! Okay how dumb do you really think anybody is; not just the Russian
Russian courts are nothing more than theatrics where the court pretends to listen but just throws you in prison in the end
Nixon would have left her there to rot!!!!!
Russian Sports Culture

Since 1993, when Russian President Boris Yeltsin shot the popularly elected parliament with tanks, Russia has followed the path of curtailing Democracy. This process was accompanied by Russia's armed aggressions: in Transnistria, Chechnya, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Crimea, Donbass, Syria, Libya, Nagorno-Karabakh, Kazakhstan. And as a result: a large-scale war in Ukraine, with constant threats of the use of nuclear weapons. Hundreds of thousands of people have already died as a result of Russia's activities. The political regime in Russia poses a deadly threat to Humanity. The world community has long turned a blind eye to Russia's criminal activities. The old problem of "imperial Russia" requires a radical solution….
The Russians proved that Big Foot does exist 🤢🤮 A BBC big foot
She should of known (probably did know) it was against the law. 🤦♀️ Play stupid games win stupid prizes. She is full of excuses & zero accountability
I call BS on you reporting.
She in a male or woman prison🤷🏾♂️
She’s guilty. Time to bring out the rope
Opinion of Someone who smokes weed everyday:
I am usually horrified of trying to find bud in other countries if its illegal, let alone bring it on a plane, if anything you eat an edible in the taxi ride to the plane, but bringing it on a plane? your crazy… I have a hard time feeling sympathy in this case when its not even federally legal in the states. You cant even bring it from state to state on a plane here. I am really not sure what she was thinking.
Ok so lets see. If it were me that took drugs to Russia and got arrested, would the president and the media intervene for breaking Russian law? No. Why not? Because you're not famous.
Silly me, I forgot the constitution states equality for all, except if you're famous.
When you free all J6 political prisoners here i maybe will care about her freedom
Dumb bit*. Stay there forever
🇺🇸
О, скажи, ты видишь
Ранним светом рассвета
Что мы так гордо приветствовали
В последнем мерцании сумерек?
Чьи широкие полосы и яркие звезды
Через опасный бой
Над крепостными стенами мы смотрели
Были так галантно стримить?
И красный свет ракеты
Бомбы рвутся в воздухе
Дал доказательство в течение ночи
Что наш флаг все еще там
О, разве развевается это усыпанное звездами знамя?
Над землей свободной
А дом храбрых?
Brittney Griner’s wife says announced years 2030 return to home in United States is former NBS star in the basketball man teams.

Good riddance I hope she gets the maximum sentence.
She hated America. Got what she deserved
Mitigating lies. Russia isn't listening to her bullshi@
Looking very manly
Sounds like USA secrect service trying to start a war with Russia
Interesting that she agreed to be paid by an atrocious regime that regularly violates human rights including LBGTQ persons in Russia. I guess 200k she earns every year wasn’t enough for her and she was willing to take big money from Russia despite the fact their human rights abuses are well known.
I wonder if she still thinks America is a bad place? 🤔
She may have overlooked what she was packing, but the question remains what was she doing with drugs in the first place, in a country with zero tolerance policy?
I saw something about the Russian judge wants to send her to a penile colony for 10yrs of hard labor. I herd Siberia is cold all year round where some of those gulags I mean colonys are
Shout out to George Floyd on 2 years of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals! !
Gee, no one considers how flawed the law is in the first place, both in Russia, and in the U.S. No wonder we can't have nice things like equality under the law.
