U.S. soldier Gordon Black pleaded not guilty in a Russian court on June 17 to charges of threatening to kill his girlfriend although he admitted he was “partially” guilty of stealing from her, Russian state media said.
The soldier, speaking through an interpreter, “partially” acknowledged his guilt on the charge of stealing 10,000 roubles ($113) from Alexandra Vashchuk’s purse but said that “there was no intent,” RIA news agency said.
