Russian prosecutors have asked a court to sentence the US basketball star Brittney Griner to almost 10 years in prison on drugs charges.
The Olympic gold medallist was detained in February at an airport near Moscow when cannabis oil vape cartridges were allegedly found in her luggage.
Cannabis is illegal in Russia for both medicinal and recreational use.

People tell you the dos and don’ts about different regions of the US.
She had to know better.
Him? Is that her preferred pronoun? :-)
Who cares what it is.
Figures. The whole regime of manipulators and clowns in DC is a world joke. That won’t stop them from their endless bullying and aggressive rude behavior though.
One would think not taking drugs into most countries, specifically Russia, would be a no brainer. No sympathies.
“S”he sure had a low voice speaking from he”r” cell this morning.
—”Sheâll make big bucks on this. Movie rights, books, speaking tours”
If she returns within a few news cycles, possible.
If the Russians keep her past the sell date, Netflix ain’t buying.
The Russians are too soft—it should be the full ten years.
The defendant issued a non-apology apology and tried the insane Hillary “no intent” bs excuse.
That was an insult to the court.
There are photos showing Griner topless. I believe poster here on freep. If they are legit, itâs a manâs chest. No way that Griner is biologically female.
The “two minutes of hate” against Russia by the Western media is not going to get stalled by releasing this royal person.
They have nothing to gain by currying favor with insane enemies.
Somebody should get a copy of the Russian prisoner paperwork. Pretty sure Russia doesnât give credence to the whole trans nonsense. Would be especially hilarious if Russia âleakedâ that She is definitively a he.
I thought for sure when I went to the USSR on a school trip I’d be busted for smuggling in copies of Kafka.

She’s getting a break. The prosecutor could have gone for the full 10 years!
I don’t understand why Faulkner and FOX were weeping for her, calling her “courageous.” Courageous for daring to smuggle drugs and daring Russians to arrest her? She even admitted it though tried to spin it.
I say she/he because some are saying that Brittney was originally a he and got a sex change. I was under assumption this was a female all along. I really don't know for sure and just don't care enough about it to research.
Fox is a joke.
Reminds me of the old Steve Martin "I forgot" routine: "Let's say you're on trial for armed robbery. You simply say to the judge: I forgot armed robbery was illegal."
Brittney Griner: "I forgot drug smuggling was illegal."
“Well excuuuuuuse me!”
So, there is agreement on rotting.
The quastion is where?
On physical examination and disregarding whines, is he placed in a Russian man’s jail or do they go along with the hoax ant put him in with the women?
