The guilty plea, which is not just an admission of guilt, but that all the facts as stated in the case are true. The no-contest plea is similar to a guilty plea but in a lot of cases cannot be used against the defendant in civil court. And an Alford plea, which is where a person gets the benefits of the plea deal because they know the case against them is strong enough to win at trial, therefore they are going to be convicted. However, they still factually maintain their innocence.
