David Barnes’ sister, Carol Barnes, said from her home in Huntsville today that she remains “beyond frustrated” by her brother’s plight. “Unfortunately, [the Griner swap] really doesn’t give me much hope regarding David’s release,” she said.
today brought little consolation to the family of an Alabama native being held in Russia.
Barnes’ sister, Carol Barnes, said from her home in Huntsville today that she remains “beyond frustrated” by her brother’s plight.“I feel that Griner’s exchange is mostly because she has received the most media coverage. The Biden administration should have been able to negotiate to include Paul Whelan in the exchange but this administration is so weak on the world stage and Russia knows it.
“Nothing we do seems to make any difference in what the outcome of this trial is most likely going to be,” Carol said. The initial hearing lasted two hours, with the next day of trial action scheduled for Dec. 15. During that time, attempts to communicate with David through his attorney have been hit-or-miss, she said.
