4:36Now PlayingNavy Lt. Ridge Alkonis remains separated from his family after spending 507 days in a Japanese jail on charges of negligent driving. Medical records indicate he was not negligent but suffering from acute mountain sickness during a deadly car crash. Last week, Japan released him to the United States, but he is still in custody. The Department of Justice has not yet determined if Alkonis will be released in time for Christmas with his family. During his State of the Union address last year, President Biden pledged to bring Alkonis back. Brittany Alkonis, his wife, joins “On Balance” to share what her family is going through.
