No Contest
No Contest (aka Nolo contendere) is a legal plea in which a defendant in a criminal case neither admits nor disputes the charges against them. This plea is often used as an alternative to pleading guilty or not guilty, allowing the defendant to avoid admitting guilt while still accepting punishment.
Also known as
