An American man who was unexpectedly freed after spending almost 2 years in a Russian jail while on trial over a cleaning product is still unable to leave Russia 9 months after he was let go and still faces the prospect that he could be returned to prison.
For 608 days he was kept in pretrial detention in Moscow, becoming a victim of the Russian justice system, where less than 1% of criminal trials end in acquittal and defendants are effectively presumed guilty. In March, there was a stunning reversal -- a judge abruptly acknowledged the problems with the prosecution’s case and ordered Grandstaff released. He was freed in the courtroom and walked out from there.
A judge at Moscow City Court on Wednesday re-scheduled the appeal hearing for Dec. 9 after Grandstaff’s lawyers were unable to attend. In Russia, when a judge finds prosecutors have gathered insufficient evidence to make a verdict, they can send a case back to the Prosecutor’s Office for further investigation. This is what happened in Grandstaff’s case, where the judge suddenly ruled prosecutors had failed to gather basic evidence, even though he had been held for almost 2 years in detention.

Because everyone buys an add-on cleaning product to their purchase of bodybuilding vitamins from China. 'Cause cleaning the kitchen sink with products purchased at the local store are just not good enough. This guy a joke. And a liar.

As anyone who has studied the country, it's alleged legal system and its brutish treatment of its own citizens already knows, Russia is a third-world, putrid, hell-hole...unfit to be considered as anything but a fetid sewer. 🤢🤮
