English to Arabic translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law (general) | | English term or phrase: Plead No Contest | Hey everybody. Anybody know what the Arabic term is for pleading no contest? All I found on Google is الدفع بالإذناب and الاعتراف بالذنب. It can't be right because pleading no contest is not a synonym for pleading guilty.
Much obliged for any help on this.
Have a super day |
| | | الدلفع بعدم الاعتراض | Explanation:
When a person is charged with commiting a crime, he or she is given the opportunity to respond. There are three possible responses: a guilty plea, not guilty plea, and no contest plea. If a defendant does not enter a plea, a plea of not guilty will be entered for him or her. From the Latin, nolo contendre, no contest means the person does not refute the charges, but also does not claim guilt for the charges. This can save time if a person convicted of a crime must stipulate to each of the charges.
However, while the person charged with the crime is not pleading guilty or contesting the charges, he or she is often considered guilty when pleading no contest. If sentencing for a crime is immediate then the plea does not carry any special weight when a judge considers sentencing.
