01:02 PM EDT Thursday, July 8, 2010

Some or all of the 10 accused Russian spies are expected to plead guilty at a hearing in Manhattan this afternoon, according to sources familiar with the case.

One source said all of the defendants have agreed to enter guilty pleas and could be returned to Russia as early as today. "It's all of them,'' said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the expected pleas are not yet finalized.

Other sources said it's unclear if the expected pleas will include all 10 defendants.

Prosecutors and defense lawyers have agreed on a sentence of time served for those who plead guilty, the sources said. A judge would have to accept that sentence.”
