What else can I help you with?
Can insanity be used for a accepted guilt plea?
When someone successfully uses the insanity plea then they would plead not guilty by reason of insanity
How is evidence used to lead a defendant to plead guilty?
Overwhelmingly obvious proof (evidence) of the offense would lead a guilty defendant to just go ahead and plead to the charge.
If you plea not guilty to a DUI what happens?
You would have to go to court and plead your case.
What pleas can be entered at an arraignment?
I would plead not guilty and put the burden on the state to convict you as you dont really know what evidence they have. If you plead not guilty, the prosecutor must hand over any evidence to your attorney allowing her/him to assess your situation.
Why would a defendant enter a nolo contender plea instead of a guilty?
They do not want to plead guilty and therefore accept responsibility, but evidence against them is so strong that if they take it to trial they acknowledge that they would be found guilty.
What happened if you didnt confess in the salem witch trails?
The same thing that would happen today. If you plead guilty, there is no trial and your are sentenced, but more lightly than if you'd plead not guilty. Confessors were just jailed instead of being killed.
If you were at court and plead not guilty so you could get a lawyer and didnt end up getting one is it possible to plead not guilty twice and then come back a third time with a lawyer please help?
No. If you pled not guilty but were not granted a Public Defender, you would be given an opportunity (called a "continuance") to obtain counsel. When you came back with counsel they could either continue your plea of not guilty and prepare to defend you or (after consulting with you) plead you guilty and attempt to obtain the best terms possible.
What happens if you plead guilty on a ACS case in family court?
Then you would be found guilty of ACS, whatever that may be. Assault to Cause Serious bodily injury, as a guess.
Why would you ask for astipulation for leave to plead?
Question doesn't make sense. You can plead guilty AT ANY TIME during a judicial proceeding, you don't have to ask for a stipulation (judge's permission) to do so.
What is another word for to plead for someone?
To plead means to beg. If you plead for someone, you could also be leading a legal case. Another term for that would be to argue a case. You could also say cajole instead of beg.
Can a first time offender of a theft by taking charge plea nolo?
Yes you can but you need to be aware that it has the same legal effect as a guilty plea. If you plead no contest you will have a conviction on your record. It would be the same as if had plead guilty or been convicted after a trial.
What type of plea is similar to a guilty plea?
Nolo Contendre (i.e.: I choose not to contest) It is an acknowledgment by the defendant that believe the prosecution has sufficient evidence against them to convict, and while they don't want to plead "guilty" they simply choose not to challenge the charge.
