Brittney Griner says 'no one explained' the situation when she was detained

WNBA star Brittney Griner testified in a Russian court on Wednesday that she was never informed of her rights, was not provided thorough interpretations, and was not told which documents she was signing when she was detained in a Moscow airport in February.

Sorry, but it's Russia not the US. They don't have rights in Russia

[joemama]

Griner - “America is oppressive and terrible”
Also Griner - “Save me America!”

[Ministry-Of-Truth]

Drugs are illegal pretty much everywhere you go.

No need for an explanation.

[EverythingRomeo_]

Also it's Russia they don't have to explain anything to you.

[krl]

your US rights don't carry over to other countries. i thought taking a govt class was required in high school.

[brutaltruth]

This is what happens when you are used to being entitled. In the US, she has privilege based on her class, gender, citizenship, sexuality and race. In Russia, all of that means nothing. Welcome to real life where there are consequences for your bad decisions.

You don't mess around in any way when you are abroad. Everyone should know that! Look at Otto Warmbier..you have to behave and also weigh the consequences..

[oceandrop]

Is Brittney a biological female? She legit sounds like a man.

[blkhemi]

Well, At least she doesn't have to listen to the Star Spangled Banner anymore.

Griner: I hate America 😠
Gets arrested in Russia
Griner: America please help me 😭

Playing Stupid Doesn’t Always Work in Other Countries

[Anthony-xtim]

Oh you mean being such an addict that your willing to smuggle drugs into a foreign country knowing you could go to prison?
She broke the law, got caught and now comes the punishment. I smoke weed also by the way. But I can control myself and not be high all the time. I certainly wouldn’t try to take some into another country where they hate Americans and have kangaroo courts…

[TheMICMusicInspirationChannel]

She's like a super-tall five-year-old.
"But... but... no one told me!" 😥

[ronin]

She is not too bright. Trade her for LeBron.

[anniecrouch]

Oh you knew what you did, playing dumb in RUSSIA will get you know where . Stop crying you broke the law.. do your time like an adult

[namur-iqih]

She violated Russia laws, and she does not deny this, then this should be commensurate with Russian, local laws, and not with those adopted in the U.S.

[yameshraberts]

"b-b-b-but nobody told me that bringing drugs to russia might be a stupid idea!!!!"

[GirthVaderxx]

Um do illegal things, pay the consequences duh

[ashleyparks]

Do her coaches need to round up the players before any traveling and go over what's not allowed to be packed? Now everyone's supposed to believe this story...She shouldn't have put herself in this position but it would be better if the Russians had everything on tape to release to the public

[willowsloughdx]

Life would be easier for everyone if people didn't do stupid stuff.
