The trial of Brittney Griner ended Thursday with the WNBA star expressing remorse for accidentally packing vape cartridges with cannabis.
Hours later, a judge sentenced her to nine years in prison, and Griner headed back to the pre-trial detention facility where she has been held since her arrest at a Moscow airport in mid-February. She'll stay there. For now.
Sometime in the coming weeks, Brittney Griner will temporarily disappear while on her way to a female-only penal colony. That is the reality for a foreigner in Russia's legal system, leaving their families worried and in the dark.
