Usually, a guilty plea from a defendant is entered as a result of a deal that is reached between the defense and the prosecution. In many cases, plea agreements like this offer the defendant a lesser sentence if they enter a gulity plea voluntarily. For the most part, prosecutors will insist that the defendant stand before the court and elocute to the crime. If the defendant refuses, this would most likely invalidate the plea agreement.
In cases where no plea bargain is in play, the defendant cannot be forced to say anything at all. They can stand on the 5th amendment and exercise their right to remain silent until the cows come home.
