KHIMKI, Russia (AP) — A judge in Russia has convicted and sentenced American basketball star Brittney Griner to nine years in prison for drug possession and smuggling.
Judge Anna Sotnikova said the time Griner has served in custody since her arrest in February would count toward the sentence.
Griner reacted to the sentence with little emotion. She listened to the verdict with a blank stare on her face.
While recapping the evidence and giving her findings Thursday, the judge said the 31-year-old Griner illegally brought drugs into Russia.

3..2..1...Racist Trumps FAULT! He personally called Vlad to get revenge against poor little brittany.
Will she be Kneeling in the Russian prison? Well we knew she was an idiot. She’ll have 9 years to figure it out for herself.
Biden should be impeached for trying to transfer an arms dealer for her.
The best thing for the world at large would be for the Russians to make her serve her entire sentence and cut no deals. The 99.99% of us that never would get any sort of special deal are watching and hoping for it.
The globalist, and elitists need their leash yanked.
“the country of her birth she disrespected by kneeling during the American national anthem”
Hey since she hated it here that bad she should be happy Russia did her a favor right?
She just needs to get used to eating borscht 3 times a day.
Three-card Monte.
She/He will be home by October, just before the midterms.
All hail Big Brother Biden and the Democrats who got our basketball star home with her family!

It knew the law, but bring a Democrat, assumed it was above the law.
Yes, I think it was way too long. But, as you said, it’s another country. Maybe she appreciates the USA more now and regrets insulting our national anthem. If she were to win release in some deal, she should kiss the ground on the USA when she returns.
Guess black priviledge doesn’t work in Russia.
On the bright side, Russia doesn’t have those laws or a prisoner cannot write a book about their experiences and profit from it. She could write a book, detailing her remembering that she went to a Baptist University, her journey of finding her true roots, rejecting lesbianism and dope, and her path back to salvation. It would be a best seller and she could come out wealthy.
Will women’s basketball ever recover?
The Russians could put a speaker in her cell and play the American and Russian national anthems back to back on a constant loop.
Do they use proscribed pronouns in Russian prisons?
But, but...Isn’t she supposed to be a “citizen of the world”?
Now watch Biden trade that Russian prisoner for her.
No, think about letting Ukraine go, though it will never be publicly put that way.
S(he) just found out BLM is no big deal in Russia. I'm sure the anarchists in the blm will burn down a few city blocks here in the USA in show their displeasure.
Well, at least she has nine years without having to suffer through our national anthem. I doubt that the Star Spangled Banner gets any airplay in Russian jailhouses.
when the dust settles, I am sure a trade will be reached of some sort.
