Bitch brought a marijuana vape pen into Russia. I haven't heard anyone dispute this. There's plenty of room to argue that her punishment was unjust (it wasn't) or that she was used as a pawn in geopolitical politics between Russia and the US (she was), but her underlying guilt has never been in question.
Yeah and you can still argue from a moralistic higher ground about the punishment vs the crime, if you want. To just deny the crime itself makes zero sense. I don't understand why they would use such an easily disproved argument.
It doesn't even disprove Riley's argument that Griner is a controversial figure, because of what happened. It's incorrect and doesn't disprove the claim Riley is making.
There is a significant part of the American population that believes laws are unjust because a lot people break them. There are AGs decline to prosecute certain crimes because certain people get arrested for them.
