REFUSING TO CONTEST THE CHARGES (I'M SURE SOMEONE ELSE WOULD BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN IT BETTER THAN THAT)
"No contest" means you face the same penalty as pleading guilty, not going in to try and make a deal under the "not guilty" phase, but you are not making a guilty claim. This frees you of a lot of liability, despite the fact that you have to serve the penalties of a guilty plea. This type of plea is entered when you know you're not going to get a deal and you're guilty as sin, but you don't want to claim yourself as guilty.

What an intriguing concept. So basically it's saying, "yeah, I kinda did it, but give me the punishment, I can take it"?
 
You should get on a table in court and tell them god told you to do it. Then attemp to mount everyone in the court.......starting with yourself.......

Maybe then they wouldnt think your competent and it might be good for a laugh

No, it's along the lines of not incriminating yourself. There could be extrenuating circumstances, like no money for a lawyer or expert witnesses to discredit the prosecution's case. So you yield to the court's demands for restitution, they don't spend the extra money to put you to trial, and you have not plead guilty. It's not exactly equal to "not guilty", and it's not "guilty". You have neither been proven or disproven as a criminal, but will be told that "no-contest" can be as good as a guilty plea.

I dunno. Chicks don't just file charges AND follow through with prosecution for no reason. Something more to the story you are leaving out, like an altercation, you were acquaintances, etc.

There is definitely more to the story.

They do if they are bat-shit insane. I know a couple in this city that would.
 
LRD you kissed me on my shoulder that one day when you came to the library to see me. you owe me $300 :)

apparently i'm part of a legal thing, too.
i was sitting at lunch with this girl i kinda know and this random guy she's friends with and they were playing the "nervous game" and his hand was going down her pants and up her shirt and her hands were going down his pants and she seemed totally fine with it, but now she's pressing sexual assult charges, so i was called into the principal's office to tell someone from the police department what i'd seen since i'm apparently the only witness to this incident.

THIS USED TO HAPPEN AT MY SCHOOL A LOT BUT IT ONLY GOT AS FAR AS INVOLVING THE POLICE ONCE A MONTH BECAUSE IT WOULD USUALLY END UP WITH THE WITNESS TELLING THE SCHOOL STAFF THAT THE GIRL ACTUALLY REACHED ORGASM
