Yes. It's called a plea bargain or a nolo contendre plea. Meaning that you do not contest the investigating reports that place you as the suspect of a crime. Instead of being heard in a jury or judge trial setting to be convicted, you go directly to a sentencing trial.

∙ 12y agoyes however it is more benefical for the defendant to stall and wait for the plea bargain for a reduced sentence.
Entering a guilty plea without a recommendation from the prosecutor is known as a "blind plea". This is a very rare happening, but sometimes takes place when there is knowledge of a judge's attitude regarding certain types of cases or facts, and the prosecutor has drawn a hard line regarding what he thinks is a proper sentence. If there is no agreement between the prosecution and defense, but the defendant does not believe the prospects at trial are favorable, then a "blind plea" may be the best course and the judge is likely to take into consideration the defendant's remorse and admission of guilt in determining a sentence.
