Alegação / declaração
Explanation:
Ref.: Babylon; Noronha's Legal Dictionary

Num processo, nos Estados Unidos, o acusado é instado, logo ao início, a dizer se se declara culpado ou inocente (plea guilty or innocent).
Não é um apelo, mas uma alegação / declaração a partir da qual o processo se desenrolará.

Veja o que diz o Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Law: 1a: an allegation of fact in civil litigation made in response to a claim

Explanation:
Dependendo do contexto, "Plea" pode ter inúmeros significados. Neste caso, julgo que se está a pedir ao réu para entrar num acordo com o promotor, reconhecendo a culpa, para ter uma pena reduzida.
