In Delaware, a no contest plea can typically only be overturned if it was made involuntarily, due to a lack of understanding, coercion, or other similar issues. To attempt to have a no contest plea overturned, one would typically need to present strong evidence of these circumstances to the court.
Typically, once a plea of no contest has been entered, it cannot be withdrawn before sentencing. However, you may consult with your lawyer to explore any possible legal options or circumstances that may allow for reconsideration of the plea.
Yes. Anyone can sue anybody at any time for anything. The fact that you pled guilty is not going to help you, but if your complaint with them is other than the fact that you were arrested, go for it.
Plea bargain.
Plea bargaining can be beneficial for both the victim and the perpetrator in some cases by avoiding the trauma of a trial and securing a quicker resolution. However, some victims may feel that plea bargains do not adequately punish the offender or provide them with the closure they seek. Ultimately, the fairness of a plea bargain to the victim depends on the individual circumstances of the case.
The question is somewhat unclear. Once you have signed a 'plea agreement' the charges are no longer "pending" because you have already signed a plea agreement. By signing the plea agreement you have, in effect, pled guilty to the offense(s) for which you were charged, or a reduced version of them. You (or your attorney) can file motion to withdraw your plea if you wish, but by withdrawing the plea you once again make yourself subject to prosecution for the original (un-reduced) offense. If you are asking about how to have the charge(s) removed from your public record (expunged), you will have to look into the procedure that is in effect in your state.
A conviction by plea is where you plea "guilty" or "nolo contendre" (no contest) to a charge. The plea is treated as a conviction of that charge.
This term is no contest.

It sounds like it may POSSIBLY mean: No Contest, Count 1. Which would mean that the defendant pleaded "no contest" to the charge against them.A no contest plea is, in effect, a plea of guilty and signifies that the defendant acknowledges that the prosecution has enough evidence against them in order to convict, therefore the defendant will not 'contest' the charge.
A no contest plea means that you do not admit or deny committing the crime, but you are not going to fight the charge. If you plead no contest, you are accepting whatever punishment the court gives you, but you are not admitting guilt.
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.
Yes.
It means "I do not wish to contest" or "no contest" for short.
Yes. Essentially a plea of "No Contest" is just a gentler sounding way of pleading "Guilty."
To plead no contest in a court case, you must inform the judge that you are not admitting guilt but are not contesting the charges against you. This plea is treated similarly to a guilty plea, but it cannot be used against you in a civil case.
