If you plead nolo contendere this neither admits or denies the charges and you would have no intent on defending yourself.
Nolo contendere is treated as a plea of guilty. In the courts of the U.S. you may only plead this with the okay of the court.
Advantage... this plea can not be used in a later proceeding against you.
A guilty plea may be used.
Disadvantage... If the case is not settled by a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, you will start to prepare for a trial.
