	Guilty Plea as a Mitigating Factor in Sentencing
		The use of a guilty plea as a mitigating factor is a powerful tool to aid the efficiency of the court and to regain the confidence of Rwanda.
		A guilty plea must be made with sufficient understanding of the relevant circumstances and likely consequences because the defendant, by waiving his opportunity to defend himself, consents to judgment and conviction.
		A plea of nolo contendere allows a defendant to waive his right to trial and be treated as if he were guilty without expressly admitting guilt.

	frontline: the plea: faqs \| PBS
		Pleading guilty instead of going to trial reduces uncertainty as to the outcome of a trial; in trying a case before a judge or before a jury of 12 people, the defendant cannot predict what ultimately will happen.
		And, the plea bargaining system can be abused: It can extract guilty pleas from absolutely innocent people who plead guilty to charges they did not commit because they can't afford the risk of going to trial.
		Plea bargaining has surged because there are more crimes and there are more petty offenses which now are criminalized (offenses such as failing to pay a bus fare, being an unlicensed vendor, petty burglary, shoplifting, etc.).

	Sen. Craig files to rescind guilty plea - USATODAY.com
		To reverse his guilty plea Craig would have to convince a judge that there was a "manifest injustice" in case.
		Motions to withdraw a guilty plea are usually heard by the same judge who heard the original case, usually at least two weeks after they're requested, court officials have said.
		If he is allowed to withdraw his guilty plea, the prosecutor would have the option to re-file the dropped gross misdemeanor interference with privacy charge, which stemmed from an allegation that Craig peered into the bathroom stall occupied by the undercover police officer.

	What is a Not Guilty Plea?
		If a defendant doesn't enter a plea at all, whether it is because he or she doesn't want to respond to the charges or because he or she failed to appear, the court will enter a not-guilty plea on the defendant's behalf.
		An innocent defendant may choose to make this plea in order to have the opportunity to have his or her case tried before a jury, as a guilty plea will not go to trial.
		A guilty defendant may enter a not guilty plea as well, sometimes for the reason that he or she protests the type of charge being brought.

	Election shrouded by Levine guilty plea -- chicagotribune.com
		The guilty plea of political insider Stuart Levine on federal kickback charges has thickened the clouds of corruption hanging over next week's election and could taint how voters view Illinois government for years to come.
