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.
