Brittney Griner Request for House Arrest Denied


Yesterday the Moscow court granted a two month extension for Brittney Griner's arrest after prosecutors asked for more time to investigate her case [click here if you missed that]. 

Brittney's request to serve her detention in house arrest has also been denied...

A Moscow-area court denied WNBA star Brittney Griner's request to be released on house arrest Thursday - with the judge ultimately deciding to extend her detention in a Russian prison until May 19, reports said.
Griner's lawyers have described her as being well, however they noted she clearly wants to return home as soon as possible, a source close to the situation told the network.
'The court granted the request of the investigation and extended the period of detention of the US citizen Griner until May 19,' the court said. The Russian investigation remains ongoing, and a trial date has not been set.

I guess they don't want to make a deal publicly so the Kremlin don't try to use her as a pawn...but I'm thinking he already doing that..otherwise why not let her go & come back for trial..

If she did use drugs, then she is stupid. I say too bad and good luck with the cockroaches in your cell. I hear they're family size.

When she is released she better never step foot in Russia again.

^^ She was making an easy million for playing in Russia. The U.S.A. never gave her or the other women playing basketball or soccer that amount of money.^^

If she felt that she had to leave her homeland in order to earn her worth, that would suggest that she and the sport are not valued at home as much in her homeland as abroad.

^ maybe she is not good enough for the home team.

Women don't make that kind of money in the us because their fan base doesn't generate anywhere near the amount of revenue as their male counterparts. The support just isn't there.

^ with that being said she should be grateful to have a career. Instead of throwing it away on drugs. Simple a$$.

Shit, I would be hysterical , crying everyday and going on a food strike, drinking water and eating very little, enough to lose obvious weight!

^ Why would Russians care about an American Black woman sucking up drugs? Russians are massacring Yt's. The US is supporting a war against them and Ninga's are not a priority to them.

If she did all that it would not change their mind about her treatment. They would probably let her die and hide their hands behind their backs, only to say we didn't do it, she did it to herself.

Brittney is stuck like Chuck. YT ppl in the us don't care, either. Black Panthers have been locked up in the states for decades and haven't killed anyone and there are no related drug allegations. Who is calling for their release? Nobody cares about black folks at home or abroad.
