Officials at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow have visited jailed WNBA star Brittney Griner, more than a week after a Russian court rejected her appeal of her nine-year sentence for drug possession.
A Russian court on Monday set Oct. 25 as the date for American basketball star Brittney Griner’s appeal against her nine-year prison sentence for drug possession.
Brittney Griner has made an appeal to President Joe Biden in a letter saying she feared she might never return home and asking that he not “ forget about me and the other American Detainees.”
Cleveland Browns' Myle Garrett, who used a helmet “as a weapon” to strike Pittsburgh's Mason Rudolph in the head, will have his appeal heard by the league early this week.
