 Everyone knows you can go into court and plead guilty or not guilty, but often times people aren't aware that there's actually a third option and that's a no contest plea. And that's known as a plea that's often times referred to as a best interest plea because you want to wrap up your case but you don't want to plead guilty. You're not saying you're not guilty but you're not saying you're guilty either. So you're saying I want to resolve my case but I'm not exactly here to say yes I'm guilty I did it. But this way you can wrap up the case and put it behind you and still face whatever repercussions are ahead. Carlson Meisner, Hardin Hazelett, protecting your rights since 1971.
