The main distinction between "no contest" and "guilty" comes down to whether you accept responsibility for the offense or if you don't appeal a conviction. Identify case number and parties for the record.If you plead not guilty, you're denying the accusations outright. Nolo Contendere (No Contest): Just as with a plea of guilty, a plea of no contest requires the consent of the court. Legally speaking, a no contest plea has the same effect as a guilty plea on a conviction when it comes to sentencing. Before accepting a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, the court must place the defendant or defendants under oath and personally carry out subrules (B)-(E). Pleading "no contest" means that you are not admitting guilt but are not contesting the charges either. 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.
