No. You need to have your record sealed or expunged. If the state attorney dropped the charges after a pre-trial diversion program, you can expunge. if not, you can have it sealed. Talk to the Clerk of Courts or an attorney on how to proceed.

∙ 13y agoIt's a "kinder and gentler" way to plead guilty without actually having to say it in open court.
Translated literally it means "I shall not contest."
What it means is that although you choose not to plead 'guilty' to the offense, you acknowledge that the prosecution has enough evidence to convict you of it.
It's never made any sense to me and I've been at it for 30 years. .

A guilty but mentally ill plea acknowledges guilt but asserts that the defendant had a mental illness at the time of the offense.
