I am not sure that she even has a good lawyer or any lawyer to advise her correctly. And it doesn't EVEN matter because Russian courts convict 99.5 % of all defendants. And there was probably GREAT pressure on her to get a conviction. What I can't possibly understand is WHY so many here are so going out of their way to trash her as if she had just strangled their 1st born son? I realize that residents of TV Land prefer golf and baseball to basketball, but, that can't be the ONLY reason.
