Although a nolo contendere plea may lead to a judicial determination of guilt, it is inadmissible in later civil cases against the defendant based on the same conduct amounting to the criminal violation.True or False.

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This statement correctly identifies a characteristic of the nolo contendere plea. This is a legal term that expresses the desire to not contend. Therefore, this is also known as a plea of no contest. This is considered a plea in which the defendant neither admits nor disputes a charge. This may lead to a determination of guilt, but it is inadmissible in later civil cases against the defendant based on the same conduct amounting to the criminal violation.
