KHIMKI, Russia : Here are some quotes from Wednesday's testimony by U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner to a Russian court trying her for possession of drugs, after she was detained at a Moscow airport in February with vape cartridges containing hashish oil.ON BEING DETAINED AT THE AIRPORTThe seven years I've been coming back and forth to Moscow multiple times, I've never seen so many people working that day.
There were a lot of custom agents and people behind the scanners that day. It was a little abnormal.I walked through the metal detector.
And on the other side, I was instructed to come around and open my bag up.There were documents that I had to sign. I can only assume that they were about the search and the cartridges.
We had to use my phone and Google Translate for him (an official) to be able to tell me a little bit.There was a lady that was there that they said was an interpreter, but it was more just her telling me 'surname, sign'.
