quote:
"I'd like to plead guilty, your honor, but there was no intent. I didn't want to break the law."

Griner spoke in English and it was translated to the court. She went on to say...

"I'd like to give my testimony later. I need time to prepare." It's unclear what testimony to which she's referring, since she was pleading guilty. The testimony may involve sentencing.

The next hearing is set for July 14. Griner faces up to 10 years in prison. It's interesting the plea comes on the heels of President Biden saying he was stepping up efforts to win her release.

Nobody, except the delusional, are suggesting she didn't do it. Even her wife and close friends don't. they know she likes getting high and was used to being privileged on her Russky trips.

That idiot needs to serve her time. Even bringing up swapping an arms dealer for her, is absolutely insane.

I'm sorry honey, but when you're in a foreign country, especially one that's not friendly to the West, you really need to be mindful of their laws and be extra careful to stay within them.

Why? She hates America and the people that live in it so to hell with her she can rot in that Russian prison.

CanebreakCajun•27 months

Sympathy for what? Breaking another country's law, despite having been there numerous times before and knowing what you can't do? Leave it to someone from Texas.

Don't follow WNBA so what did she say? Hating certain things about America doesn't mean you hate America.

The face of privilege. Thought she could prance into Russia and violate the law with no recourse. Stupid bitch
