Guilty - Not Guilty - Nolo Contendre. The last being Latin meaning; I don't plead Guilty but I acknowledge that there is probably sufficient evidence to convict me. In juvenile courts the pleas can be 'Involved'" and 'Not Involved.'" Same as guilty and not guilty but it sounds nicer.

The four pleas a defendant may use in a criminal case are guilty, not guilty, guilty but mentally ill, and nolo contendere (no contest). A defendant who pleads guilty admits their responsibility for the crime. Pleading not guilty indicates that the defendant denies the charges and intends to contest them. A guilty but mentally ill plea acknowledges guilt but asserts that the defendant had a mental illness at the time of the offense. A nolo contendere plea means the defendant does not contest the charges but does not admit guilt.
This is called the plea of no contest, or legally known as nolo contendere. However, some states do not allow no contest pleas for more serious crimes. In this case the defendant makes what is called an Alford plea, which is a plea of guilty but in the best interest of the defendant, not because the defendant is guilty.

Criminal pleas refer to a defendant's formal response to criminal charges, such as pleading guilty, not guilty, or no contest. Motions are formal requests made to the court by either party in a legal case, seeking a specific ruling or order, such as suppressing evidence or dismissing charges. Together, pleas and motions are integral components of the criminal justice process, impacting the direction and outcome of a case.
The amount of pleas that can be offered to a convicted felon will vary depending on the crimes. The DA will have final say over any pleas offered. An attorney can help make a deal with the DA.
Settlement pleas are agreements reached between parties in a legal dispute, often to resolve the matter without going to trial. In criminal cases, a settlement plea may involve a defendant pleading guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a more lenient sentence or the dismissal of other charges. These agreements can help conserve judicial resources and provide a quicker resolution for both the defendant and the prosecution. However, they typically require approval from a judge to ensure fairness and legality.
Yes. E.g: "I met with the defendant of the to-be-raided house of his".
