It is against the law to do so (at least Canada and the US). Any major change (new charges, new evidence, etc.) needs to be brought forward to both sides. This is to allow the defendant and the plaintiff to have an equal opportunity at pleading their case. Failure to follow that rule, will result in the dismissal of whatever has been added to the case(new charges, new evidence, etc.) and may even result in a mistrial.

The term you're looking for is "nolo contendere." It is a Latin phrase meaning "I will not contest it," and it is used by a criminal defendant to accept the charges without admitting guilt.
