Wait. If there is a plea of guilty, there can be no not guilty decision; in such cases, there is no trial, only sentencing.

In the event of a dismissal, there is no conviction, unless of course the prosecutor successfully appeals and seeks a new trial, which in light of the original guilty plea, most prosecutors would.
