BRITTNEY GRINER SENTENCED TO 9 YEARS IN PRISON AFTER BEING FOUND GUILTY ON DRUG CHARGES IN RUSSIA
Outkickj ^ | 4 Aug 2022 | Mark Harris

Brittney Griner was found guilty of drug charges in a Russian court on Thursday. Shortly after being found guilty, she was sentenced to nine years in Russian prison. The prosecution was reportedly seeking nine and a half years.

Griner is being used as a political pawn. Now, with the sentencing, it forces the hand of President Joe Biden to do something sooner rather than later and get the American citizen out of Russian prison.

The American justice system is far from perfect, but this outrageous sentencing should put things into perspective for everyone, including LeBron James, about how unjust other justice systems around the world operate.

America is attempting to trade the Merchant of Death Viktor Bout for the American basketball star, but it’s unclear if that’s going to happen or not.

Immediately after the sentencing, Biden released a statement saying “Russia is wrongfully detaining” Griner.

It can be homemade just like in the old days using Everclear. But the dangerous part is evaporating the alcohol down. Dummies tend to use things with open flame/red hot coils to heat it. BOOM! Here in LA, there’s one of those fires at least once a week.

My days of fooling with that stuff are long past but I’ve always had patience.
I’d just put it in a tray in a warm (well-ventilated) place and let nature evaporate the hooch. No hurries no worries! :)

I actually think the Russian prisons are better because very few of them have a gang problem.

So the liberal judge went against the prosecutor’s recommendation and gave her a lighter sentence.

Let’s not forget when Jeb Bush’s wife was caught smuggling jewelry into America, the deep state gave her a pass.

It appears Russia is the country with the Rule of Law these days.

Yes of course, about as ‘outrageous’ as 10 criminals being arrested near 500 times and still on the streets?

Woman in NYC charged with her 1,004th shop lifting.

I read it on FR.

What evidence do you base this statement upon? Every photo I’ve seen of this guy, is that of a guy. Not one feature that indicates anything else. Just curious where you got this?

Griner broke Russia’s laws and US federal law. She was caught with hash oil which is illegal in Russia and the US.

Griner’s mention of medical marijuana is irrelevant since she was not caught with medical marijuana but hash oil. There is a difference.

When’s Netflix going to release a feature film. Victoria Bout. She used to be the merchant of death. Then she got snipped and roto-rootered, and now she’s a hoops star! Kaitlin Jenner, move over!

No country will give you a death sentence for what amounts to a partially smoked joint clearly only for personal use. It has no value for drug trafficking

No liberal get out of jail free cards in Russia. I hope she does not get traded and spends years in prison. She hates me, so I hate her.
