California Plea Of Gulity-No Contest-Felony (also known as a solo contender plea) is a legal plea in the state of California that allows a defendant to plead guilty or no contest to a felony charge without admitting guilt. The defendant does not admit guilt but agrees to accept the consequences of the charge. There are three types of California Plea Of Gulity-No Contest-Felony: Straight No Contest Plea, Alford Plea, and Conditional No Contest Plea. A Straight No Contest Plea is when the defendant does not admit guilt but still agrees to accept the consequences of the charge without going to trial. An Alford Plea is when the defendant maintains their innocence but acknowledges that the prosecution has enough evidence to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. A Conditional No Contest Plea is when the defendant agrees to enter a plea and accept the consequences of the charge but reserves the right to appeal the conviction at a later date. In all three cases, the defendant will be sentenced according to the court's guidelines, and the plea will remain on their criminal record. The plea cannot be withdrawn or changed once it has been entered.
