Griner brought illegal drugs into a nation which has harsh criminal penalties for doing exactly that. She admits doing so. The fact that she claims she did not know she was doing so is not an excuse even here, in the US, let alone other nations. I don’t understand the pearl-clutching about Griner’s situation on ESPN and other MSM outlets, nor do I understand why the US should free Russian criminals to get Griner freed from the consequences of her actions.
Not to mention a country we are waging a phony proxy war against.
