Brittney Griner has been detained in Russia for three months now.
Since that time, the United States has been investigating her case, and just recently, they updated her status to “wrongfully detained,” which means the country is now trying to figure out deals that could potentially bring her home, sooner rather than later.
According to ESPN, there is a new update in the Griner case. She had a hearing today in which it was revealed that she will need to spend yet another month in prison prior to her trial. There is no exact date for her trial just yet, however, it is expected to be very soon given the fact that the detainment is only for another 30 days or so. Needless to say, things are starting to move in the case.
At this point, there is no telling how the trial will go, especially since Russia is a country that is very tough on alleged crime. With all this in mind, it seems like U.S. intervention might be necessary, in the coming weeks.
