In my experience juvenile offenders were offered the pleas of "Involved" or "Un-involved." Essentially they are the same as guilty and not guilty. They mean the same thing - but sound nicer and gentler.

Can you plea youthful offender on a felony even if you have already plead youthful offender on a misdemeanor If so what is the age limit in Alabama?

A Defedant may be allowed to plead youthful offender in Alabama if the person is under the age of 21 at the time the criminal offense was committed. An adjudication of youthful offender is not a criminal conviction and will not appear on your history as such. Youthful offender files are confidential records. You may apply for youthful offender status in any case whether it be the smallest misdemeanor like a speeding ticket of the most heinous felonies such as murder. However, it is discretionary with the judge as to whether or not you are granted youthful offender status. I do not recall those with felonies such as murder being granted youthful offender status. You may apply for youthful offender status in a felony case although you were previously adjudicated a youthful offender in a prior misdemeanor case. However, as I mentioned, it is entirely up to the judge as to whether or not he allows you a subsequent adjudication as a youthful offender. Hope this helped.

When a defendant neither admits or denies a crime?

When a defendant neither admits nor denies a crime, they typically enter a plea of "nolo contendere," or no contest. This plea means they do not contest the charges but also do not admit guilt, allowing the court to proceed with sentencing as if they had been found guilty. This can be advantageous in some cases, as it may prevent the plea from being used as an admission of guilt in any subsequent civil litigation. However, the consequences of a no contest plea are generally the same as those of a guilty plea.
