The trial has begun in Russia for WNBA star Brittney Griner, who’s facing drug smuggling charges.

Griner’s wife, along with critics, says the athlete is a political pawn. Her detention and trial come at an extraordinarily low point in Moscow-Washington relations.

She was arrested at Sheremetyevo Airport less than a week before Russia sent troops into Ukraine, which aggravated already-high tensions with sweeping sanctions by the United States and Russia’s denunciation of U.S. weapon supplies to Ukraine.

Crystal Goomansingh looks at the fight for Griner’s freedom, and the legal odds against her.

    Ukraine has evidence of Russia giving narcotics to front line troops in Ukraine..
    Pull some blood samples… gather evidence.. mount a defense… Russia violates its own law on foreign soil.

    States have given narcotics to there own pilots before.. to keep them alert on long sorties… do as I say.. not as I do

    So her American citizenship makes her immune to law and order. She can smuggle whatever she wants into Russia right ? As long as it is Russia.

  4. L C says:

    Wrongfully detained, political prisoner..yada yada yada! Russia has very clear laws and US laws or preferential treat do not and should not apply…kind of ironic that he spouts off how much she hates America and now she’s asking for help for crimes she committed. What is the big deal!? Russia is the very system that she has been praising. Too bad we cant send 80 million that voted for numbskull and the 32% that voted for our beta PM over there..

  5. L C says:

    She aint getting out…she is getting the max sentence..they dont play over there! You wont see her for 10 years..

    Why does she have an adam's apple? Women don't have those

    wrongfully detained, how about julian assange???

    Russias wack !

  9. Johnboy says:

    who cares? she is a criminal in their country no mater how small they say it was

    No one should be detained by nonsense in foreign lands. And I do believe detainment over hash oil to be nonsense. Perhaps there was more but in any case

    I disagree with this woman, her point of view and her attitude towards her homeland. But we as Canadians should remember Turd who continues to turn his back on Canadians who are stuck outside the country (perhaps due to nonsense health mandates he's obsessed with) and have empathy.

    Do stupid things, win stupid prizes. Just another example of her ability to make poor decisions. Over the past decade, or so, how many is this one?

  12. Ron Fowler says:

    Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

    Don’t bring weed to foreign country’s ffs how many of these dummy’s have to get locked up before people learn .

  14. BrendanT says:

    She's arrogant for bringing illegal drugs into that country . She deserves whatever her punishment is .

  15. Colin Peter says:

    Why in the world would you try to being weed into Russia…… like I'm sorry I feel bad for her situation but I know for a fact wnba ect tell their players MULTIPLE TIMES when going abroad to not bring anything that will get them in trouble especially things that are state legal but not federally legal. The US jailed a Canadian for 5 years for selling cannabis seeds online wich people in the states bought. Equality

    Hash oil?
    Over milligrams of HASH OIL?
    How disgusting has Russia become. There are thousands upon thousands of legal things you can get your hands on in Russia that will do substantially more harm than hash oil. INFACT HASH OIL HAS LIKELY NEVER HURT ANYONE ANYWHERE.
    F$@%ING RUSSIA. Putin and his millimeter Peter.

    How stupid can you be to bring drugs in ruzzia👎

  19. Stewart D says:

    Don’t break the law?

    But she’s gay, she’s black, she’s not a superstar ….

    Don’t break the law

  20. Adanna Copeland says:

    Really smuggled narcotics !! They were empty vape cartridges! It’s ridiculous!

  21. Crazy Alpha Gaming says:

    You committed a crime and you have to do the time

  22. Mspolarbear says:
    3 years ago

    They are a lot of US citizens being held in prisons around the world so why should she get preferential treatment?? She smuggled drugs into Russia and she needs to pay for her crime. This is NOT political, it is justice. The US would do the same if a Russian was trying to smuggle drugs into the United States. I don't get the uproar. She broke the law and she needs to deal with that.

  23. Marc Dufresne says:

    Bunch of jealous snowflakes

  24. Fernando Ramirez says:

    In the meantime Russia is killing brave Ukrainians and innocent civilians including women and children and they are worried about some pot. She's American and she should be brought home.

  25. Applecompuser says:

    Follow the law.

  26. Randy C says:

    Disagree with cannabis being criminalized, however why would anyone attempt to go through customs at a Russian airport with hash.

  27. Resistance Militia says:

    You must obey the law in foreign countries. You break the law you must face the music no exception

    Use the racist card and see where that gets you. Oh yeah you already know, why bothers it’s not gonna work there

  30. Demarcus deAnthony says:

    If this was some white spoiled kid y’all would say he should have known better. Just cause she’s a privileged basketball player doesn’t change anything. Seriously, what normal person would bring vape cartridges into another country, let alone Russia !?!? She obviously feels superior. I smoke these cartridges but would never be that ignorant to do this

  31. ddbb says:
    3 years ago

    She's a liberal/leftist, so of course she uses drugs. Stop the pretension and denial.

  32. lee vaughn says:
    3 years ago

    Anyone who actually makes a decision to bring (smuggle) illegal drugs to a Country such as Russia….a Country known to nearly all human beings on the planet for its extreme opposition and strict laws regarding illegal drugs entering its borders……anyone ….regardless of nationality, gender, race, financial status, famous athlete or movie star …..yes ANY person who would actually make a rational decision to bring illegal drugs through an International Airport into Russia………is a FOOL. I do not want any harm to come to this American. Of course not. I want her to come home asap, safe, healthy, and unharmed. Her spouse is terrified, upset, and rightly so. But, that fact does not speak to or excuse her decision to assume the risk and take responsibility as an adult for her actions. Ludicrous.

  33. Ian Howes says:

    Nothing political about it – she is a druggie who got caught. Let her serve her timfe in a Russian prison and maybe she will sober up!

  34. Arkh says:
    3 years ago

    The funny thing is Russia it self snuggles alot of drugs for the entire world so I don't get this Mr Putin

  35. Alan Partridge says:
    3 years ago

    Good the dirty Lez can stay there until she rots HaHa

  36. America First says:

    She didn't stand for the national anthem and now she wants help f her keep her there
