Brittney Griner — the WNBA All Star held in Russia on drug charges since February — pleaded guilty in a Moscow-area court Thursday.
“I’d like to plead guilty, your honor,” Griner said, addressing the court in English. “But there was no intent. I didn’t want to break the law.” Griner — who could face up to 10 years in prison under Russian law — said she would like to give further testimony at a later date.
“I need time to prepare,” she said.

Will she realize now what a great country the US is now? Probably not.

She deserves every bit of this. And it is a very, very hard education in reality.
My bet is that when she gets back to the USA, if she does, she'll want to kiss the ground. And if she has any brains (a highly questionable theory) she'll never complain about the USA again. But first, she has some time to serve and survive. And a new language to learn.

No Intent to break the law, it just happened, as if it makes it all better.
There are clear warnings to anyone crossing the international border to not bring in narcotics of any kind. Mexico has a big sign warning not to bring in marijuana, not even medical marijuana. It’s not legal there. Long tall basketball player should have stayed home, where flouting the law is allowed these days.

If she didn't know it was illegal to bring drugs into a country like Russia they should add another 10 years to her sentence for terminal stupidity.

Drop 10 years on her so we don't have to hear from this America hater until 2032.

What was this woman thinking trying to smuggle .7 grams of cannabis oil? I love her tattooed arms. This tells me she sure has it all together emotionally. And her poor partner, back in the "States". The latter is probably so lonely now without Brittney. It's so heartbreaking.

Griner is getting a crash course in the difference between guilt-ridden, leftist dominated, free pass for minorities, American justice system and a totalitarian, "guilty until proven innocent" system that doesn't give a tinker's damn what color you are.

Wealth and indolence- of thought and/or lifestyle- collide with another worldview that doesn’t find them persuasive. She’s a joke. The Dims want the nation to be joking around so they can steal in plain sight. She’s not in the Dim joking around sphere now.

About time. Is anyone else sick of this whining person who hates America? Have at it, kid…
Sounds as though she got the wrong country, the wrong sex and the wrong attitude. Give her a good long time to ponder how bad off she’s been.

Maybe she'll be sentenced to 10 years on the Russian Women's Olympic Basketball team.

Biden will probably trade a Russian Super Spy, murderer or terrorist for her. Then when she gets back, she'll complain about how long it took the USA to get her freed. If I was Biden, I'd wait about a year before I'd start dealing so the Russians don't think we're desperate for her freedom.

The privileged twit pleaded guilty. Why does she need additional time to "prepare"?

Oh Brittany, you ignorant slug! All you are doing is playing into Putin's hands. Putin, not Diaper Joe, is calling the shots. Why else would Putin allow your pathetic letter to Diaper Joe out of Russia? Cause he wants you to beg and Diaper Joe to look like a feeble old man without any can do in him. Putin will let you be convicted and sentenced. Diaper Joe desperate to maintain the lesbian WNBC vote will embarrass himself and the US to get you out. The longer Putin can keep you and the more you beg impotent Diaper Joe, the stronger Putin's hand gets. Oh, and claim didn't intend to break the law only helps if you are a Democrat (check), woman (check), lesbian (bonus) and Comey is in charge. Unfortunately for you, Brittany, Putin ain't Comey.

A lot of white people leading Ms. Griner to court. Maybe she ought to tell them to check their privilege.

"time" to prepare" sounds like an odd request. And a little impudent. She has had plenty of time but thought Uncle Sam would get her out.
Even so, none of us were therre and she may have been polite in court. Tough call. But there is no reason to give her preferential treatment.

WNBA “star” is like saying someone is a “star” JCC/YMCA softball league player.
She’s an anti American druggie. She’s getting what she deserves. Next time, don’t smuggle pot.

I say let the Russkies keep her for as long as they want.

Hope the ugly dame stays in Russia forever! Her 'wife' can go visit. Perhaps she is just as 'smart' as her 'husband' and wants to smuggle some drugs in!

It was .7 grams, less than 1 gram and it was a thc vape pen. Yes it was stupid to bring it with her and I don’t care if they keep her but we need to stick to the facts. My concern is they send her back out of the goodness of the Russian hearts and stupid joe takes credit.

Busting rocks in Siberia seems an appropriate punishment for sheer stupidity. I hope she never returns to the country she hates.

The Russians should put in a cell that plays the U.S. National Anthem loudly and continuously. That would be poetic justice.
