Brittney Griner faces a complicated path to release

One hundred forty-three days.

That is how long Brittney Griner has been behind bars in Russia. That is how long she has been stuck in the middle of a high-stakes staredown between the United States and Russia at exactly the wrong time, ...

...

The seven-time All-Star center for the WNBA’s Phoenix Mercury pleaded guilty Thursday, admitting wrongdoing. In so many words, Griner and her lawyer said her troubles began with a mistake: She was readying quickly for her flight to Russia in February and inadvertently packed the smoking cartridges with the small amounts of hashish oil — less than a single gram, ...

Finally Griner admits it was Narcotic Hash Oil and not the CBD pain relief compound falsely asserted by the US Government and US Media Shills.

[Navy Patriot]

Ping, - update, yes it was Hash Oil.

Complicated path to release?

Step 1: She pled guilty.
Step 2: She is sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Step 3: Ten years pass and she is released.

That does not seem very complicated to me.

Didn’t he/she/it ever watch Midnight Express?

What’s the sentence for this?

Serving her sentence is her path for release.

The good news?
Brittney Griner is now one hundred forty-three days sober and drug-free.

If she comes home clean and loving America, I’ll call that a win.

Obviously the woman(?) is not very smart.

Obama traded five Taliban generals for one army deserter. Biden will have to pay a very heavy price to get back his queer, overgrown, anti American girl. Not only will he have to release convicted Russian spies but the Russians will want their yachts returned with interest.

The seven-time All-Star

Yeah I’m sure dozens of fans are upset.

[silent majority rising]

She needs to throw herself at the mercy of the Russian Courts. Maybe they will let her represent them for a while.

[NWFree]

This will give her a chance to try out a new country for a while 🤪

What’s the sentence for this?

Under Russian Law, the standard and usual sentence for smuggling this type of Narcotic is Ten Years.

Putin regularly shows mercy to younger Leftists, Gays and Wokesters, (particularly those whom are honestly contrite) and showed it with early release for the Pussy Riot Cathedral Vandalizing Scum.

Who among us hasn't been in a hurry to pack for a trip, and inadvertently tossed drugs into our suitcase?

Hard to give a rip about this America hating freak.

“If it was LeBron, he’d be home, right?” said Vanessa Nygaard, Griner’s coach with the Mercury.

No. A whole lot of Americans had no problem with the white male adolescent who was vandalizing in Singapore getting the rattan stick 6-10 times, either.

I understand that other countries hate Americans acting privileged, being indifferent to laws of the nation they are visiting. Even when I go to Canada, I am very aware that they have their own laws and I am a guest, subject to extra scrutiny.

Packing for travel? Don't have the illegal stuff anywhere near your bag. Be glad that you weren't caught breaking similar laws in Turkey or Indonesia.

Finally, if you can't be prudent, don't visit a country that we are fighting a proxy war with. If they had LeBron, they would have used him as a bargaining chip against sanctions, or possibly against Ukrainian held POWs. This is so much bigger than the giantess.

[RummyChick]

is hasish oil legal in the state where she was packing her bags?

[Navy Patriot]

We could offer to trade the entire Biden Family for Griner.

(I'm not sure what to call Griner, Her, Him or It, so I'll just use the name.)

[Do_Tar]

I hate when that happens.

[HIDEK6]

That’s a shame.

[Navy Patriot]

All good advice which I already follow.
