An American man who was unexpectedly freed after spending almost 2 years in a Russian jail while on trial over a cleaning product is still unable to leave Russia 9 months after he was let go and still faces the prospect that he could be returned to prison.
For 608 days he was kept in pretrial detention in Moscow, becoming a victim of the Russian justice system, where less than 1% of criminal trials end in acquittal and defendants are effectively presumed guilty. In March, there was a stunning reversal -- a judge abruptly acknowledged the problems with the prosecution’s case and ordered Grandstaff released. He was freed in the courtroom and walked out from there.
A judge at Moscow City Court on Wednesday re-scheduled the appeal hearing for Dec. 9 after Grandstaff’s lawyers were unable to attend. In Russia, when a judge finds prosecutors have gathered insufficient evidence to make a verdict, they can send a case back to the Prosecutor’s Office for further investigation. This is what happened in Grandstaff’s case, where the judge suddenly ruled prosecutors had failed to gather basic evidence, even though he had been held for almost 2 years in detention.

U.S. inspectors watch Russia show off hypersonic nuclear missile Putin says will defeat any American defensesRussian President Vladimir Putin said in 2018 that the Avangard hypersonic missile is 'invulnerable to intercept.' If putin had such a weapon, he would not hesitate to use it, especially against the United States. Poor old man putin 🙄 And the Bitch in the WH has made sure we look weak! I am an angry Rep that others aren't pissed the party was Hoodwinked. Do better. Motto - 'Any functional Adult' 2020 is better than the Pendejo today! Kruschev said that Russia had a missile that could hit a fly in outer space. Putin is just as full of BS as Kruschev was. The USAF and NASA were testing this type of missile technology more than 10 years ago. The Russians are trying to copy what we already have.

Typical American Teen Struggles To Balance Demands Of School, Pansexual Orgies, And Drug RavesNEWBERRY, SC—Echoing the concerns of millions of teenagers across the nation, typical American 17-year-old Dana Almdell confirmed Monday she has struggled to balance the many competing demands placed on her by school, pansexual orgies, and drug raves. “My schedule this year is almost exclusively honors classes, so how am I supposed to find time to sell all this ecstasy and ketamine before the big sex party this weekend, at which I’m hoping to get gang-banged with all my friends?” said the completely average, run-of-the-mill teen, who added that she has been forced to cut back the number of hours she spends tripping on designer drugs and masturbating on a webcam so the whole school can watch. “The only way I can manage is by doing tons of cocaine, but even then, it’s hard to stay on top of everything. Yesterday, I got so tweaked on bath salts trying to stay up and finish a paper that I totally forgot about my calculus study group and our usual Sunday night rainbow party. High school is a lot of pressure no matter how much Klonopin you take.” Almdell went on to say that due to her numerous academic and extracurricular commitments, she has hardly had time for her relationship with her AP literature teacher, much less for getting to know the married couple she has been sleeping with for the past week. relatable They obviously need more pansexual orgies Oof, back in my day we just smoked weed and listened to System of a Down. Good luck zoomers.
