Brittney Griner Pleads Guilty in Russian Drug Trial
An American basketball player held in Russia since February for possession of cannabis oil pleaded guilty in a Russian court Thursday.
'I'd like to plead guilty, your honor. But there was no intent. I didn't want to break the law,' Brittney Griner, 31, said, speaking English, which was then translated into Russian for the court.
'I'd like to give my testimony later. I need time to prepare,' she added.
