How would a defense attorney describe the difference between a nolo cotendere plea and an Alford plea to his client?
a. The only difference between a nolo cotendere plea and an Alford plea is that you do not say you are innocent in a nolo plea, but you claim innocence in an Alford plea that also asks for leniency.
b. The only difference between a nolo plea and an Alford plea is that you do say you are innocent in a nolo plea, but you admit to guilt in an Alford plea.
c. The only difference between a nolo plea and an Alford plea is that you do not say you are guilty in a nolo plea, but you claim guilt in an Alford plea.
d. The only difference between a nolo plea and an Alford plea is that you do say you are 100 percent guilty in a nolo plea, but you claim or assert innocence in an Alford plea.
