WNBA star Brittney Griner sentenced to 9 years in Russian penal colony

U.S. women's basketball star Brittney Griner now faces 9 years in a Russian prison.

She was convicted Thursday in a Russian court on drug charges for having cannabis oil in her luggage last February as she arrived in Moscow.

The Biden administration had sharply criticized her arrest and condemned the verdict.
