A plea is a formal statement made by a defendant in court to either admit guilt or claim innocence regarding the charges brought against them. It is a fundamental aspect of the criminal justice system, allowing the court to proceed with the case based on the defendant's plea. Common types of pleas include 'guilty', 'not guilty', and 'no contest' (nolo contendere). The plea entered can significantly influence the course of the legal proceedings, including trial, sentencing, and potential plea bargains.
