Brittney Griner, who is 6'9, is put in a 'very, very, very tiny cage' for 5 hours every time she has to go to court in Russia, wife says

• The woman's basketball player is on trial in Russia for trying to smuggle drugs.

• The player has to travel for five hours in a small cage for court appearances.

• The trial is likely to be a show trial, according to experts.

Every time she has to appear in court, the wife of the basketball player is forced into a small cage and driven for five hours.

Cherelle told CNN's "New Day" that her wife, who is 9 inches tall, has to go to court for five hours and then stay in a small cage.

Cherelle said she had spoken to a person who was exhausted.

Cherelle said that her wife is having to travel over five hours to go to court because it's not big enough for her to fit in.

Russian authorities accuse the Phoenix Mercury center of having cannabis oil in her luggage. She faces up to 10 years in prison if she is found guilty of drug-smiling charges.

According to Insider, experts say that the trial will be a show trial, and that a result against her has already been decided.
