A Russian court rejected Brittney Griner’s appeal of her nine-year prison sentence for drug possession on Tuesday.
The court ruled to uphold the sentence handed down to the WNBA superstar. However, in the ruling, the court stated that the time Griner will have to serve in prison will be recalculated with her time in pre-trial detention taken into account.

Smuggling drugs into a foreign country is just plain damn dumb. Smuggling drugs into a country that perceives the country of your birth their adversary is double damn dumb.
Smuggling drugs into a foreign country that perceives the country of your birth an adversary AND after you’ve trashed the country of your birth...well, he deserves what he gets.
You get an “A” in lefty speak gibberish! Well done! Did you have to go to an ivy league school to learn that language?
I suppose all the previous talk of a prisoner exchange is no go since the Dems got as much as they could out of it?
Yes, like I said, with friends like Brandon, Griner doesn't need enemies.
Brittney Griner finds out the race card is void in Russia.
"Them's the breaks" - that line is still hilarious after all these years.

Henry Moon (Nicholson): I wouldn't take you to a dog-fight if you was the defendin' champ!
It’s my understanding that in Singapore you can be hanged for drug smuggling, kind of wish she had tried it there.
That way I wouldn’t have to listen to the whiny bitch for the next 8 years!
If her sentence is harsher than what would be for a Russian Citizen, it is political. If not, she is simply just one more criminal sentenced properly.
She won’t serve for long. I hear Biden is going to be pressured by the woke media and the BLM crowd to trade Ukraine for Griner.
I'm sure you heard correctly, the Radical Prog Left Wings of the (Socialist) Democrat Party are fighting among themselves for the position of Top Dog In Control.
The question is: will the Biden connected Democrats give up the best Money Laundering scheme that the world has ever seen (Ukraine) for the NegroHomoTranny?
In a normal reasonable world that would be true.
In this world, where the US Government, Diplomacy and State Department is run by the equivalent of four-year-old spoiled braggart children, that statement can never be tested.
