It seems there has been a development in the unnerving saga and legal drama playing out in Russia. She has pleaded guilty to drug charges in a court appearance today.
WNBA star Brittney Griner pleaded guilty to drug charges in a Russian court Thursday. She faces up to 10 years in a penal colony over the offenses.
She told the court that she had not purposefully broken Russian law, according to Reuters who had a journalist in the courtroom. Her next court appearance is on July 14.

We wish Brittney, and her wife, all the best and we hope to try and stay on top this developing story a little better in the weeks to come.
