Guilty crimes are always accepted by the judge?

Do you mean to ask. "Guilty PLEAS are always accepted by the judge???" If that's what you really mean, the answer is not always - especially if the defendant is 'Pro Se' (representing himself) in a criminal action and pleading guilty. The judge will want to make sure that the defendant is properly represented and fully understands the consequences of his pleading guilty and therefore sometimes a judge will not accept a guilty plea. Like everything else in life, and the law, it depends greatly on the circumstances.
