  • someone who doesn’t want to confess can still plead not guilty.

    Then they would be contesting the charges. A plea of ‘not guilty’ means you are contesting the charges.

    Yes, contesting the charges has a completely different function than not contesting the charges.

    You seem to equate a plea of ‘not guilty’ with ‘not confessing.’ This isn’t true. A plea of not guilty means you are contesting the charges.

    A plea of ‘no contest’ means you are not contesting the charges, nor are you admitting guilt (confessing.)

    Sorry, I’ve explained things as best I can. If you don’t get it now, you never will and I think we should both move on.
