Brittney Griner has been found guilty of drug possession and smuggling and was sentenced to nine years in a Russian prison, an expected conclusion to her trial that should allow negotiations for a prisoner swap to accelerate.

pretty fucked, can't wait to see if Sleepy Joe can pull off a prisoner swap while tens of thousands of Black Americans rot in prison for weed possession

    Tbh this was definitely a political prisoner type situation. Under their own laws she gets like a month in prison for this. She obviously wasn't looking to distribute with less than a gram of oil. It's absurd on its face. It's a shame she is caught in the political crossfire.

      Yeah I read somewhere that the sentencing judge straight out said that the sentence was partially retaliation for America trying to politicize the trial.
