Al Sharpton, WNBA players and executives at a press conference to make a statement in response to Brittney Griner's guilty plea in a Russian court on Friday. Griner pleaded guilty on Thursday to bringing cannabis-derived oil cartridges to Russia, saying she had done so by accident. "Thank you for your love, thank you for your support and thank you again for keeping my wife's name and legacy very visible while she's not here on U.S. soil," Cherelle Griner said during the press conference. #news #brittneygriner #russia CBS News Streaming Network is the premier 24/7 anchored streaming news service from CBS News and Stations, available free to everyone with access to the Internet.
