What is better, not guilty or no contest?

A no contest plea allows defendants to avoid admitting guilt, protecting them in related civil cases, but resulting in the same criminal penalties as a guilty plea. In contrast, a not guilty plea denies the charges, leading to a trial where the prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

How long does a no-contest plea stay on your record?

Both misdemeanor and felony convictions remain on your record indefinitely. A no-contest plea will result in a permanent criminal record for both types of offenses unless you successfully petition for expungement or an order of nondisclosure (sealing).

What does no contest mean?

A no contest plea means that instead of fighting a case (not guilty plea) or admitting guilt (guilty plea), you are saying that you dont want to fight a case but you are not stating one way or the other whether you are guilty of the charge(s).

What happens in a no contest?

No contest (abbreviated NC) is a technical term used in some combat sports to describe a fight that ends for reasons outside the fighters hands, without a winner or loser.

Is a no-contest plea good or bad?

In terms of criminal consequences, there is effectively no difference between a no-contest and a guilty plea.

What does it mean to win by no contest?

If you plead nolo contendere (no contest) you stated that while you do not wish to plead guilty you agree that the prosecutor has sufficient evidence that the court would find you guilty. This is considered the same as pleading guilty as far as the conviction is concerned.

How does no contest work?

A plea by a criminal defendant that they will not contest a charge. A no contest plea does not expressly admit guilt, but nonetheless waives the right to a trial and authorizes the court to treat the criminal defendant as if they were guilty for purposes of sentencing.
