Russian teammate, GM support Griner in court

Tom Firestone, the former resident legal adviser to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, said he expects Griner will repeat what she said when she pleaded last week. Firestone said prosecutors and defense attorneys are permitted to ask"clarifying questions" during the interrogation.

"It was an extremely emotional day for Brittney, who was touched by the appearance of the club director, head physician and her teammate, who gave an extremely positive description of our client both personally and professionally," Blagovolina said. Russian officials have bristled at American calls for Griner's release, saying her legal case must be completed before any discussions.

She probably brought them weed

White folks be on meth hard asf but in here sharing drug free memes

Yeah well thay doesn't change the fact she was carrying illegal substances in a country that is very strict against it she needs to pay the full price an serve a few more years

I have no doubt that the Russians have known for some time that she's been bringing those vape cartridges into their country and have only been waiting to use it. She should probably get used to the idea of being there for the near future. We have our own problems to deal with.

Don’t care

If we don’t wake up….whatever she said about America doesn’t matter…what’s right is right. Russia says a fine or 15 days in jail for what she had. Russia has other intentions!!!!

Well, if you been playing there for six seasons, you ought to know the rules in Russia on drugs. For the previous five seasons, you’ve been going in and out of that airport and they do baggage search. What in the world you think they looking for?

Didn’t she beat her old gf?

I think she should be let back in the country after she does he 10 years in prison.

That’s a dude

Shouldn’t have broken a law. Espically in russia. Who is notorious for absurd laws. Who is in a war right now battling Ukraine who btw the USA is backing. She deserves what she gets

So does is this. Let her rot over there.

Russian jail ball

You got any of that hash to spare

'She's an exemplary player and citizen, Judge. She just doesn't respect your laws.'

Nobody told her to play ball in a communist country there you go probably thinking those dumb reds r ip to no good

6 years means she should know the law. Commit the crime do the time

She broke Russian law, she deserves to be over there. Stop acting like nothing she did was her own fault.

Did she stand or kneel during the Russian anthem? Did she dare say she didn’t want it played before games? You know, freedom and all.

Did they mention how she hates the United States?

Ok ......

Why is everyone pleading for her release when she beat up her wife? If it was a man with domestic violence history nobody would be campaigning for him to be helped by the US President lmao

Congratulations

If she has played in Russia for 6 years you would think she would know the laws against bringing drugs into the country

And?

She took illegal drugs into another country and expected for this not to happen? seriously? bad talks our nation, kneels for the flag, now you want our help? you have to abide by the laws of other countries or accept the consequences of your actions - no one is above the LAW!

Did the bitch stand during the Russian national anthem?

Oh she 6 years?So she knew the laws in Russia.

Does Putin like to watch basketball ? Otherwise any kind of support is considered weak …

Does she stand for the Russian National Anthem ?

Leave her butt over there. She hates the USA and we don't care for her.

Great

LeBron James criticizes U.S. effort to bring home Brittney GrinerIn a trailer for his talk show, the NBA star questioned whether Griner would even want to return to her home country. “Now, how can she feel like America has her back?” James said. “I would be feeling like, ‘Do I even want to go back to America?'' She's not only America stuck in 🇷🇺 or other countries; she's just the only WNBA player. The process is long and contentious & current relations, and a War isn't helping; in April, a US Marine detained by Russia was released after waiting three years. What he fails to understand, is that nobody outside of her circle of friends and family, give a shit whether she feels like America 'has her back'. She didn't 'have America's back'. Remember? Idiot!!!
