Griner and her lawyer said her troubles began with a mistake: She was readying quickly for her flight to Russia in February and inadvertently packed the smoking cartridges with the small amounts of hashish oil

Who among us hasn't been in a hurry to pack for a trip, and inadvertently tossed drugs into our suitcase?

I hate when that happens.

Well, I can honestly say that I never did. But I did once accidentally pack a girlfriend in a suitcase. I wasn’t arrested. However, the airline forced me to buy an extra ticket.

ESPECIALLY those of us who have spent considerable time in Russia on many trips???

LOL. Fortunately, I don’t have any to inadvertently toss in.

I mentioned that all these the high-profile Americans on trial in Russia are cheap on their attorneys.
Trevor Reeds defense made him plead not guilty but the testimony was that he was drank and remembers nothing. That’s the most stupid line of defense one can imagine after attacking a cop.

Now, Griner pleads guilty to the contraband of the narcotic substance but then testifies that it wasn’t intentional meaning not guilty. How stupid is it? Russian court defines this situation as “refused to admit guilt in face of overwhelming evidence and unrepentant” hence non-eligible for leniency normally associated with the plea of guilt.
