This could be called self incrimination, and generally one is not called to do this unless given a previous plee bargain. The Constitution prevents one from being forced to incriminate oneself.

Self-incrimination can be voluntary or coerced. It may occur prior to trial, or on the stand. If the defendant is called to testify on his behalf, he may choose to admit guilt. In this manner, the accused could testify against himself. Although not generally recommended, one positive potential outcome could be leniency in sentencing, by the presiding judge (insofar as may or may not be allowed by law).
