 As NPR's Charles Maines reports from Moscow, the secret proceedings could land the American in a Russian jail for up to 20 years. The trial is taking place behind closed doors in the city of Ekaterinburg, where Evan Gershkovich was first detained more than a year ago while on a reporting trip. The Kremlin insists Gershkovich was caught red-handed. Prosecutors accused the Wall Street Journal correspondent of trying to obtain state secrets about a nearby tank factory. Gershkovich, the Journal, and the U.S. government all vehemently reject the spying charges.
