Brittney Griner is expected to testify on Wednesday in her drug trial as she stands accused of bringing illegal substances into Russia.
WNBA star Brittney Griner is expected to testify in her trial Wednesday in Russia as she faces charges for allegedly bringing illegal substances into the country.
Another member of Griner's defense team previously submitted a U.S. doctor's letter recommending the basketball player use medical cannabis to treat pain. During Tuesday's court session, a Russian neuropsychologist testified about worldwide use of medicinal cannabis. Five court sessions have taken place so far, some lasting only about an hour. After Tuesday's session of about 90 minutes, the case was adjourned until Wednesday afternoon.
When asked whether she had any complaints, Griner replied: "No, no complaints. Just waiting patiently." She displayed photos of her wife, friends and teammates.
