Laws in almost every state allow for pleas of no contest, or nolo contendere in Latin, for certain types of cases. But unlike a plea of guilty or not guilty, a defendant must get a court's consent to plead no contest to a criminal offense, which comes with certain legal consequences.
If you plead "nolo contendere" (no contest) you stated that while you do not wish to plead guilty you agree that the prosecutor has sufficient evidence that the court would find you guilty. This is considered the same as pleading guilty as far as the conviction is concerned.
