The detained American basketball star Brittney Griner pleaded guilty to drug charges in a court near Moscow on Thursday, her lawyer said.
“I’d like to plead guilty, your honor. But there was no intent. I didn’t want to break the law,” Ms. Griner said in English, which was then translated into Russian, Reuters reported.
Ms. Griner has been detained in Russia since Feb. 17, accused by the Russian authorities of having a vape cartridge with hashish oil in her luggage at an airport near Moscow.
Aleksandr Boikov, her lawyer, said cartridges appeared in Ms. Griner’s luggage “because of carelessness.”

If that’s accurate, sure sounds like the Rooskies are pi$$y about it to me.
Still think there’s a decent chance this is just another scam.
That link says weed is not legal just like in most places of the world. What Russians are doing now is a huge media circus, long pre-trial detainment and threatening 10 years for possession of $20 worth.
Guilty on possession, not guilty on intent to distribute.
So detaining her is priceless.
Actually Brittney seems to be the husband. Maybe they switch off.
Do they flip a coin to determine who gets to use the vibrator?
Agreed. I trust that leftist spends plenty of time in a russian prison.
Over here the left hails her as a hero. In russia, she gets to experience true racism (they hate blacks there) and the lesbian thingy? Trifecta for the russian “naughty list” with the criminal charge. Biden has a complicated issue on his hands with a hostile russia and keeping his iran giveaway alive. It’ll be interesting to see how he utterly bungles this idiocy.
She’s lying....and the pair are gay.
This here says she only had 0.7 grams - https://brobible.com/sports/article/brittney-griner-grams-thc-russian/
Not a lot of distribution is possible with $20 worth of weed.
