If you have been arrested by the police because they think you have committed a crime, the next thing that happens is that you are brought to court for trial.
When you come into court the charges against you are read out and you are given the opportunity to say that either you did not do the things you are accused of (a plea of not guilty) or that you agree that you did what you are accused of (a plea of guilty).
If you plead guilty then there is no trial and the court will decide the punishment you deserve immediately.
If you plead not guilt, a trial will be held and a jury will be appointed to hear both sides of the argument and decide if they think you are or are not guilty. If they decide you are guilty you will be punished.
