Final answer:

Nolo contendere plea is when a defendant neither admits nor denies a charge but chooses not to contest it, having a similar effect as a guilty plea regarding the sentence.


Explanation:

Nolo contendere, also known as no contest, is when a defendant does not admit or deny a charge but chooses not to contest it. This plea has the same effect as a guilty plea concerning the sentence but doesn't act as an admission of guilt for other purposes. It is different from a guilty plea that could be used against the defendant in a civil lawsuit.
