They rarely translate verbatim. Rather, translators paraphrase. Or, they will take something untranslatable and change it to something that is more culturally aligned.

Nothing of value, let them keep her.

Simple, easy, other have gotten 10 years for less in Russia and Russia for sure will make an example of this for the world to see and agree.

3 years in prison and hopefully she/he/what/it/whoCares comes out understanding true oppression.

She's finding out how things work back in the western world to innocent ppl. Except................

Had she been caught entering the us with drugs, medical use or not, would probably be worse for her. If anything, she might wiggle out of this via a prisioner swap

The white misogynistic Russians are oppressing her because she is black. (My TV programming has taught me well).

How does she know? Why does she need a translator if she speaks Russian?

Sorry BLM technicalities won't reduce sentence that you were foolish enough to smuggle drugs into a foreign country

basically ignored the two Michaels being held in China for a couple of years though

YAWN no one gives a flying fuck up here!!

This is classic. Whenever things go wrong, blame the interpreter. Lawyers do that, criminals do that, all losers do that.

'Why don't these white people here behave the same as the ones back home?'

Maybe a Sub would help?

She should never have smuggled illegal narcotics into Russia…what the hell was she thinking?

It's the peak of black entitlement to think you can bring illegal drugs into a country and face no consequences.

Lol... how does she know. If she speaks Russian, why does she need an interpreter? If she doesn't speak... how did she get to this conclusion?

Brittney Griner to testify in Russian court: reportsWNBA star Brittney Griner is expected to testify in a Russian courtroom on Wednesday as her attorneys lay out their case for leniency after she admitted to bringing cannabis oil into the country, multiple outlets reported. Lookin' good! Hope she enjoys her 8-10 year prison sentence. Russia doesn’t piss around with this stuff. She could have applied for a waiver, but like the typical yank, felt she was above the laws of another country. Am tired of seeing people like her break's the law and don't do jail time. But am not famous if I break the law I go to jail. Why should she get off she no better then me the only thing is she is a famous basketball player.

WNBA star Brittney Griner's drawn-out drug trial in Russia resumesAmerican basketball star Brittney Griner returns Tuesday to a Russian courtroom for her drawn-out trial on drug charges that could bring her 10 years in prison if convicted. The Jan 6 hearings are drawn-out. It’s just a cannabis vape. Just to forget stress of the day and relax for a little while. Stoner lives matter 💨 I barely heard anything from CTV about the 2 Michael’s being held in China for years. Why so much coverage of an American being held in Russia. I suspect CTV is following orders from someone?
