During her Russian trial on drug charges, lawyers for her presented proof that she received medical clearance in the U.S. for cannabis use, which may not help her case.
There is a court room just outside Moscow that has a lawyer in it.
One of her defense attorneys told the Associated Press that a note from a doctor in Arizona recommended that she use medical marijuana to relieve her pain.
Marijuana use is against the law in Russia.
According to the Associated Press, drug tests didn't detect any banned substances in Griner's system.
She faces a prison sentence of up to 10 years if she is convicted of the drug charges.
She admitted in court last week that she had the e-liquid in her luggage, but said she had no intention of committing a crime. Lawyers for the woman said in court that she accidentally brought the illegal weapons to Russia. One of her teammates testified as a character witness for Griner on Thursday. The next hearing is scheduled for July 26. Two Americans are imprisoned in Russia. As the U.S. and Russia spar in a diplomatic war, the State Department considers the prisoner to be wrongly imprisoned.
James said in a clip released Tuesday, "How can she feel like America has her back?"
The director of the movie gave a character witness in the trial.
There is a question of how can she feel like America has her back.
