I listened to an attorney speaking about her case earlier. He said things are way different in Russian courts. It's actually better to plead guilty and hope for a lesser sentence. I'm not saying she is innocent, but that probably needs to be pointed out.
That is what I read also. In Russia, 99% of these cases are found guilty. PLEADING guilty could lessen her sentence. Up to 10 years is what she could get.
To peen - numerous WNBA players go to Russia to play in the off season, for the money.
