The four pleas a defendant may use in a criminal case are guilty, not guilty, guilty but mentally ill, and nolo contendere (no contest). A defendant who pleads guilty admits their responsibility for the crime. Pleading not guilty indicates that the defendant denies the charges and intends to contest them. A guilty but mentally ill plea acknowledges guilt but asserts that the defendant had a mental illness at the time of the offense. A nolo contendere plea means the defendant does not contest the charges but does not admit guilt.
This is called the plea of no contest, or legally known as nolo contendere. However, some states do not allow no contest pleas for more serious crimes.
