Reply to comment by Angelic_Phoenix in Phoenix Mercury confirm Brittney Griner’s return to WNBA by rejs7

There are many American citizens put behind bars for literally NOTHING. This lady did something illegal and got bailed out. If you or I did the same, we would rot away.

the real punishment for what she did is a fine and a 30 day sentence. She was a political prisoner, if you think otherwise youre wrong

I agree that anything more than what you described would be too harsh of a punishment. But you glazed over the fact that if it was you or I, the government would not be trading a high profile prisoner in exchange.

I also don’t know the Russian laws, but if in Russia you can serve say 10 years, then she deserves 10 years. If you think otherwise, you’re wrong.

well I HAVE researched russian laws and it isnt 10 years. Its 30 days and a fine (sometimes a bribe). Do your research before spreading misinformation
