The four pleas a defendant may use in a criminal case are guilty, not guilty, guilty but mentally ill, and nolo contendere (no contest). A defendant who pleads guilty admits their responsibility for the crime. Pleading not guilty indicates that the defendant denies the charges and intends to contest them. 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.
