🚨WNBA star Brittney Griner was convicted Thursday of drug possession and sentenced to nine years in prison. In February, Griner was arrested at a Moscow airport on her way to Yekaterinburg, where she had been playing for a local team during the off-season, after custom officials found less than a gram of cannabis oil in her luggage. “I understand everything that has been said against me in the charges against me, but I had no intent on breaking any Russian laws,” Griner said. “I want the court to understand that it was an honest mistake.” President Biden said the sentence was “unacceptable” and called on Russia to release Griner immediately. He also added that he would continue to work to bring her home. #news #breakingnews #brittneygriner
