Associated Press [b]Griner apologizes as Russian court prepares to give verdict[/b] JIM HEINTZ Thu, August 4, 2022, 2:47 AM KHIMKI, Russia (AP) — American basketball star Brittney Griner apologized to her family and her team as a Russian court heard closing arguments in her drug possession trial said it expected to deliver a verdict Thursday.
In her final remarks, Griner said she had no intent to break Russian law by bringing vape cartridges containing cannabis oil with her when she flew to Moscow in February.
“I made an honest mistake, and I hope in your ruling it does not end my life,” she said.
Prosecutors asked the presiding judge to sentence Griner to 9 1/2 years in prison.
The closing day of her trial comes nearly six months after Griner’s arrest at a Moscow airport in a case that has reached the highest levels of U.S.-Russia diplomacy, with Washington proposing a prisoner exchange. Under Russian law, the 31-year-old Griner faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
Although a conviction is all but certain, given that Russian courts rarely acquit defendants and Griner has admitted to having vape cartridges with cannabis oil in her luggage, judges have considerable latitude on sentencing.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below.
KHIMKI, Russia (AP) — Prosecutors asked a Russian court Thursday to convict American basketball star Brittney Griner and sentence her to 9 1/2 years in prison at closing arguments in her drug possession trial.
The trial neared its end nearly six months after Griner's arrest at a Moscow airport in a case that has reached the highest levels of U.S.-Russia diplomacy, with Washington proposing a prisoner exchange. Under Russian law, the 31-year-old Griner faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
Although a conviction is all but certain, given that Russian courts rarely acquit defendants and Griner has admitted to having vape cartridges with cannabis oil in her luggage, judges have considerable latitude on sentencing.
Lawyers for the Phoenix Mercury center and two-time Olympic gold medalist have pursued strategies to bolster Griner's contention that she had no criminal intent and that the canisters ended up in her luggage due to hasty packing. They have presented character witnesses from the Russian team that she plays for in the WNBA offseason and written testimony from a doctor who said he prescribed her cannabis for pain treatment.
Griner lawyer Maria Blagovolina argued that Griner brought the cartridges with her to Russia inadvertently and only used cannabis to treat her pain from injuries sustained in her career. She said she used it only in Arizona, where medical marijuana is legal.
She emphasized that Griner was packing in haste after a grueling flight and suffering from the consequences of COVID-19. Blagovolina also pointed out that the analysis of cannabis found in Griner's possession was flawed and violated legal procedures.
Blagovolina asked the court to acquit Griner, noting that she had no past criminal record and hailing her role in "the development of Russian basketball."
Another defense attorney, Alexander Boykov, also emphasized Griner's role in taking her Yekaterinburg team to win multiple championships, noting that she was loved and admired by her teammates.
He told the judge that a conviction would undermine Russia's efforts to develop national sports and make Moscow's call to depoliticize sports sound shallow.
Boykov added that even after her arrest, Griner won the sympathy of both her guards and prison inmates, who supported her by shouting, “Brittney, everything will be OK!” when she went on walks at the jail.
Prosecutor Nikolai Vlasenko insisted that Griner packed the cannabis oil deliberately, and he asked the court to hand Briner a fine of 1 million rubles (about $16,700) in addition to the prison sentence.
It's not clear when the verdict will be announced. If she does not go free, attention will turn to the high-stakes possibility of a prisoner swap.
Before her trial began in July, the State Department designated her as “wrongfully detained,” moving her case under the supervision of its special presidential envoy for hostage affairs, effectively the government’s chief hostage negotiator.
Then last week, in an extraordinary move, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, urging him to accept a deal under which Griner and Paul Whelan, an American imprisoned in Russia on an espionage conviction, would go free.
The Lavrov-Blinken call marked the highest-level known contact between Washington and Moscow since Russia sent troops into Ukraine more than five months ago. The direct outreach over Griner is at odds with U.S. efforts to isolate the Kremlin.
People familiar with the proposal say it envisions trading Griner and Whelan for the notorious arms trader Viktor Bout, who is serving a prison sentence in the United States. It underlines the public pressure that the White House has faced to get Griner released.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday that Russia has made a “bad faith” response to the U.S. government’s offer, a counteroffer that American officials don’t regard as serious. She declined to elaborate.
Russian officials have scoffed at U.S. statements about the case, saying they show a disrespect for Russian law. They remained poker-faced, urging Washington to discuss the issue through “quiet diplomacy without releases of speculative information.”
Oh... I bet " she" has a bigger pair of balls than Ookla for sure. And "she" loves puzzy too. 🥴🥴🤣🤣🤣
Sorry Ookla .... You was really cool on Thundar the Barbarian, but you and Brittany look kinda similar to me.... Please pardon my indiscretion Ookla and don't hold it against me. You are still a cool what the fugg ever you are mutant. At least we all know you are a dude...
She still has that unbelievable deep voice over there in the Russian jail.
That isn't normal even for a giant. But a gal can acquire a voice like that if she is shooting testosterone. But how could she keep up her testosterone supply in Russian jail?
There’s a lot of chicks with voices like that Rene! They are all around 70-ish and the have been smoking Pall-Malls since they started hanging around the American Legion post when they were 14!!
She played high school ball in Houston, she talked like that when interviewed as a sophomore. She could also slam dunk at that age, she was a man child!
Renegade: I would bet $50.00 that "thing" used to have a penis! Freak of nature perhaps, who, lets not forget, denigrated her country at EVERY opportunity - now she wants "her" (?) country to rescue her. Maybe she (it?) ought to re-evaluate her (its) thinking? Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Don't worry. Putin will make Brainless Joe, and the US, look pretty stupid in the trade....and "it" will come home and still find cause to badmouth this country. I hope it takes a couple years for the trade to happen.

This. A honeybee says she won’t retract any of her previous oral vile concerning America. Osky
I wish it were sharing a cell with that Bregdahl piece of crap.
Shhhhhhh..... Don't tell the other cats that started threads about our baritone voices B ball bouncing herb smoking bulldyke. I basically got the Jimmy Olsen on this happening hours earlier today.
That's how I roll... On the down low, all low key and schittt. 👍🙋♂️👍🙋♂️👍🙋♂️
Holy schitt . You guys see that pic STX put up on the other thread?? 🤣🤣🤣
I think the emporer Caligula had a couple of those hermaphrodite thingamabobs in his freak show. Don't think they played B ball back then though.... He just made em show their mismatched junk for their opposite gender body and voice.
There are pictures out there of her playing ball with no shirt on. Looks just like a dude with smallish pecs. I am pretty damned sure it is a dude. Even the flattest chick I ever boned at least had eraser nipples. This thing has dude chest.
Not fooling anyone. Not sure why people like this are aloud, to make fools of themselves and of this great country. These slimeballs just wish to drag this country down the drain. For some reason they dislike this country, so, try to hurt Her.
When she goes to the pen, she'll find her some love. Oh, funny now.
I think that "she" won't be very popular in a Russian prison (even if "she" really was a she). I bet they'll have to keep "her" in solitary confinement just to keep "her" alive.
