To plea in a court case, you must enter a formal statement of guilt or innocence in response to the charges against you. This is typically done during the arraignment phase of the legal process. You can plead guilty, not guilty, or no contest. It is important to consult with your attorney before making a plea to understand the implications and consequences of each option.
