Griner Testifies, Says Her Rights Weren't Explained After Her Arrest.
- Brittney Griner was in a Russian courtroom Wednesday to testify in her drug trial.
- Griner told the court that her rights were not properly explained when she was detained at a Moscow airport back in February.
- She says she was coerced into signing documents, even though "only a fraction of what was said" was explained to her by a translator.
- Griner is accused of carrying cannabis vape cartridges in her luggage. Her attorneys said Tuesday that the cannabis oil was prescribed by a U.S. doctor for pain relief, and was brought to Russia by mistake due to packing "in a hurry".
