Russian prosecutors asked a court outside Moscow to sentence American basketball star Brittney Griner to 9 1/2 years in prison as closing arguments in her cannabis possession trial were made Thursday.
The trial is nearing its end nearly six months after Griner’s arrest at a Moscow airport and subsequent detention, a case that has reached the highest levels of U.S.-Russia diplomacy. She faces up to 10 years in prison, if convicted
Although a conviction appears almost certain, given that Russian courts rarely acquit defendants and Griner has acknowledged having vape cartridges with cannabis oil in her luggage, judges have considerable latitude on sentencing.

LOL, like playing "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Bikini" in "One, Two, Three"..
Griner has an Adams apple.
That’s a man.
IMO, we have lowered the standards for young women that’s it refreshing to see one not tatted out and wearing feminine clothing. Even tatted out looks better in the right clothing but this butch looks like a petulant teenager looking ahead to a short life of criminal activity.
I am surprised and disappointed in Blackburn.

Putin will make an absolutely ourtageous trade demand for her release.
To comply, Joe will have to do everything, including but NOT limited to publicly kissing Vlad's a%@.
That's when the Liberals will finally be seen for the abject clowns and corrupt morons they are!
It will be interesting what Vlad demands
Depends on the athlete and the sport.
Attended the tennis tournament in DC yesterday. Watched a couple go interviews and saw the players interacting with fans as they went to practice, practiced, exited. Nothing prima donna or off-putting about any of them. Granted it's a small sample set but they all seemed very... nice. Mostly Europeans FWIW. Maybe they realize how fortunate they are to have the talent and the opportunity to make a very good living swatting a ball.
I’m pretty sure the WNBA bans weed during its regular season. She probably violated that rule as well.
When folks complain that her detention is just political, remember Russian athletes are still banned from all forms of international competition... because of politics. You get back what you give out.
Hope she rots in a Russian Prison.
And that Russian Female Butch’s work her over everyday.
One cannot smuggle drugs inside of Russia. It is against the law to do so. It said to its self. “Screw them. I am an athlete. Laws do not apply to me. I can do as I please.” It was caught smuggleing drugs inside Russia. The Russians made a believer out of it.
“I am surprised and disappointed in Blackburn.”
Republicans showed their true colors after the 2020 steal.
When it really matters many of them will stab you in the back and go to bat for your enemies.
Exactly. Biden will have to cave to Russia’s demands, else he will have Labron James and all BLM types saying he does not care about them.
There are also -ictures of her with no shirt and she has a male torso.
When in Russia you have to obey Russian laws. They aren’t about to give her a break because she checks three victim boxes. Those victim boxes have no validity in Russia.
It’s disgusting that biden is willing to trade an arms dealer for someone based on the number of boxes she checks.
I don’t think anyone should be given a long sentence for possessing a small amount of pot. But this is Russia.
Are we sure that person is female?
second that
There are photos on another thread proving that “she” is really a man.
He went “trans” some time ago, unless those pictures are fake.
Yep, it’s a man.
