Brittney Griner is serving a nine-year prison sentence for committing a crime that in most civilized nations would be considered a misdemeanor.<\/p>\n

Not in Russia. The Russians have locked her up and have denied an appeal to have her sentence reduced to suspension.<\/p>\n

Griner is the former Baylor University basketball star, a native of the Dallas area and a star in the WNBA. She got caught with vape canisters and cannabis oil in her luggage while trying to leave the country via Moscow’s airport.<\/p>\n

The White House calls the decision to uphold Griner’s prison sentence a “sham.” Do you think?<\/p>\n

It just goes to show the world what kind of “justice” is practiced in Russia, where its leader — thug and goon Vladimir Putin — longs for a return to Marxist doctrine in the Kremlin.<\/p>\n

The White House is demanding Griner’s release so she can join her family and resume her life. The decision to keep her locked up, though, bodes poorly — in the short term — for Griner’s release.<\/p>\n

Sickening.<\/p>\n
