This is a TOTAL surprise to me. Britney Griner, the WNBA star who was arrested in Russian last year for having a marijuana vape pen in her luggage as she was leaving the country, has been freed.
Britney had been sentenced to nine years hard time and things were not looking good for brokering a deal to free her.
There are lots of details still coming out and lots of political swap details that we’re just not going to get into here. We keep things lite.
Congratulations, Britney!
