What Is A Not Guilty Plea? In this informative video, we will clarify what a not guilty plea means in the context of the legal system. A not guilty plea is a formal declaration made by a defendant, asserting their innocence regarding the charges brought against them. This plea is one of three primary types of pleas available in criminal cases, the other two being guilty and no contest. Understanding the implications of a not guilty plea is vital for anyone involved in a legal situation, particularly when working with public defenders. We will discuss how entering a not guilty plea allows the case to proceed to trial, where the prosecution must provide evidence to establish the defendant's guilt. The defendant retains the right to present their defense and challenge the prosecution's claims. Additionally, we will touch on the role of public defenders in this process and how they often enter a not guilty plea during arraignments. Furthermore, we'll explain the possibility of changing a plea before trial and the conditions under which this can occur.
