Instead, it will likely continue on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Griner&#8217;s ordeal began in February when she was detained at Moscow&#8217;s Sheremetyevo Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She informed the court that she accidentally packed the vape cartridges in her bag and did not mean to break Russian law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;d like to plead guilty, your honor. But there was no intent. I didn&#8217;t want to break the law,&#8221; said Griner to the judge, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us-basketball-player-griner-pleads-guilty-drugs-charges-russian-court-2022-07-07\/\">according to Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She faces 10 years in prison for the crime, a situation which many are calling theatrics and a back and forth between Russia and the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The U.S. stated that Griner was &#8220;wrongfully detained&#8221; and Russia responded by claiming the U.S. was politicizing the process. Then they extended her detention twice.<\/p><div id=\"first-2786126528\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thursday was day two of her trial, and sources are saying that this was an expected move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to ESPN, these sources say that the guilty plea could help facilitate a prisoner swap between the two countries, particularly because it appeared that her acquittal wasn&#8217;t going to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier in the week, we learned that <a href=\"https:\/\/firstandpen.com\/staging\/5861\/brittney-griner-writes-emotional-letter-to-president-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grinner penned a letter to the White House<\/a>, begging the President not to forget about her and other American detainees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her wife, Cherelle, has not stopped fighting to bring her home.
