This is called the plea of no contest, or legally known as nolo contendere. However, some states do not allow no contest pleas for more serious crimes.

A guilty but mentally ill plea acknowledges guilt but asserts that the defendant had a mental illness at the time of the offense. A nolo contendere plea means the defendant does not contest the charges but does not admit guilt.
