Guilty crimes are always accepted by the judge?
Do you mean to ask. "Guilty PLEAS are always accepted by the judge???" If that's what you really mean, the answer is not always - especially if the defendant is 'Pro Se' (representing himself) in a criminal action and pleading guilty. The judge will want to make sure that the defendant is properly represented and fully understands the consequences of his pleading guilty and therefore sometimes a judge will not accept a guilty plea. Like everything else in life, and the law, it depends greatly on the circumstances.
What are the Four pleas a defendant may use?
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.

All that it means is that you acknowledge the fact that the prosecution has enough evidence to successfully prosecute you for the offense and you will not contest the charge.There is no such plea as "Innocent."
I signed a plea bargain but have'nt seen the judge yet.Can I still withdraw my plea?
Yes. Your plea of guilty would have to be accepted by the presiding judge, following a series of questions the judge will ask you concerning your plea offer and the fact that you're giving up your rights to a fair trial, that you have been explained by your attorney all the details of the plea offer, that if you're a non-US citizen or permanent residency you can be deported, and that you are pleading guilty because you are guilty (or it's in your best interest, a plea known as an Alford plea). If the judge is satisfied that you understand these ramifications they will accept the plea offer and then sentence you accordingly. If at any time before or during the above-mentioned questioning you want to withdraw the plea, you can do so. But once the judge accepts the plea offer and sentences you, you can't turn back.
