There is a little edge in pleading no contest or "nolo contendere" rather than pleading guilty to a crime. Pleading "no contest" to a criminal charge means you do not admit fault.Neither are you trying to fight for your innocence in a criminal trial. When you plead no contest to charges, you are essentially doing the same thing as admitting guilt in the case. If you plead "GUILTY": You are admitting that you committed the offense. A no contest plea is similar to a guilty plea. When you plead no contest, you technically admit that you are guilty of the crime being charged. When you plead no contest, you are not confessing guilt, but you are not denying the charges against you either. When you plead no contest, you are not admitting guilt but instead accepting that there is sufficient evidence to support a conviction. A no contest plea is more of a civil issue.
