Best Answer

Under a no contest agreement, a proposed sentence between the prosecutor and defendant's counsel is reached and presented to the presiding judge. The judge has the final say.?æ The chance of doing some jail time is likely if the defendant has a criminal record. On the other hand, the defendant can escape jail time, if there is no prior criminal record.
