    This may be manipulated, but it looks like she has an Adam's apple.

        That is a very rough break. I do feel sorry for her, though what she did was extremely stupid. I suspect she will be back soon though. Hope those prisoners in the swap don't do too much damage with their freedom.

          I feel sorry for her too, although I suspect she has been doing this for some years. Likely the Russians knew this and took advantage when it was useful.

          Hope she gets out soon. I also hope she has learned a lesson about what oppression really is.

            And when she gets back, I fully expect her to continue trashing this country. Watch.

              Yes, she will. She would lose her friends if she didn't.

                She is now an official bargaining chip at the poker table of diplomacy. Am sure she will be well accommodated during her stay.

                      👆 This. Sad case for that guy, who is in a very similar situation but not getting the "fame" or attention.

                      It is unfortunate, but he will probably be forgotten when this is all over. 😞

                        Appeal Denied by Moscow Court

                        A Moscow regional court declined to overrule the drugs conviction of U.S. women’s basketball star Brittney Griner, paving the way for the two-time Olympian to serve nine years in a penal colony for the possession and smuggling of less than a gram of hashish oil.

                        The court hearing Ms. Griner’s appeal on Tuesday had the option of leaving the verdict as it is, reducing the sentence or overruling it and returning it to the lower court where the case was first heard.

                        The decision sets the stage for further diplomatic wrangling between the U.S. and Russia, amid already icy relations over the war in Ukraine.

                        Ms. Griner’s best hopes of returning home have long been thought to rest on a negotiated prisoner exchange between the two countries, but the process is complex.

                        "Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08

                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
