    Default Russian court hands Brittney Griner 9-year prison sentence

    KHIMKI, Russia, Aug 4 (Reuters) - A Russian court on Thursday sentenced U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner to nine years in prison after finding her guilty of deliberately bringing cannabis-infused vape cartridges into Russia despite them being illegal.

    Right. Being gay and black doesnt really seem to matter to the Russians. What's that old saying about justice being blind or something like that?

    No court handed her anything.

    The sentence was handed down by the Kremlin. There is no independent judiciary in Russia, and the judges do the bidding of their Kremlin overlords.

    The Kremlin decided to prosecute this case, and hand down a maximum sentence to attain political leverage over the United States

    She will be spared that misery right? So this is actually a good thing. The Russians are doing her a favor by keeping her from returning to such a horrible country. I hope she is more grateful to them than she has been to America. Probably not though

    Russian law does not make it a felony to have any amount of hash.

    It is only a felony if you have a "significant" amount of hash. In our courts that would be interpreted as an amount sufficient to indicate intent to distribute.

    Griner only had 0.7 grams of prescribed hash oil. That amount weighs less than a stick of gum.

    It was obviously a political decision by the Kremlin to
    criminally prosecute that as a "significant' amount of hash, and dish out a ~maximum sentence.

    It appears that you are disseminating Russo-phobic horseshit, you war-mongering asshole.

    Cannabis in Russia is illegal. Possession of up to 6 grams (or two grams of hashish) is an administrative offense, punishable by a fine or detention of 15 days. Possession of larger amounts is a criminal offense.[1][2]

    you need to respond to what I actually wrote, not what you wished I wrote.

    I specifically wrote about felony criminal charges.

    So when Moon wrote his "gotcha!" post, he didn't realize what he was posting actually completely supported what I wrote
