WNBA star Brittney Griner enters a guilty plea in a Russian courtroom Thursday (July 7), in a move that, experts say, could actually help the U.S. government negotiate a prisoner swap that could bring her back to the States.

The WNBA star recently penned a letter to President Joe Biden from a Russian jail, expressing her fears about the possibility that she may never be free: "I sit here in a Russian prison, alone with my thoughts and without the protection of my wife, family, friends, Olympic jersey, or any accomplishments."

The trial for detained WNBA star Brittney Griner will begin on Friday (July 1), however she must stay in Russian custody for six more months.
