This is a kangaroo court that results in conviction over 99% of the time. The same "legal" system also locked Paul Whelan for 16 years for "espionage". Pure nonsense.

So I guess everybody is OK with the Whelan conviction also. So let's here all the Griner haters tell us true justice was done for Whelan. Or is the Russian system only correct when the convicted person is an African American professional basketball who won two gold medals for the US in the Olympics?
Didn’t take long to play the race card! We may not agree at all with the Russian system but it’s theirs as are all the other country’s judicial systems in this world unique to each. If you choose to travel outside our judicial system to not know the laws of their land, especially concerning drugs, is plain and simple stupid. By the way winning Olympic Gold Medals should not qualify for a get out of jail free card!
