ROOD: "Today U.S. citizen athlete Brittney Griner who is admired by millions of fans in the United States as well as here in Russia was sentenced to nine years in prison for nothing more than an intentional oversight. This is a miscarriage of justice. The U.S. Department of State has determined that Ms. Griner was wrongfully detained, nothing in today’s decision changes that determination.”
