He was pressed to death by the court for not entering a plea, and he didnt want to entertain the court byt entering a plea.

EDIT:

To enter a plea back then is like pleading innocent or quilty now. It is more likely that he refused to enter a plea because then he could not be tried and his wealth could not be confiscated, but would go to his family than he did it to aggravate the court.
