Generally if you plead guilty to a charge, you cannot revoke that plea later. You have been found guilty and convicted.
However, there are certain exceptions in rare cases -- for example, if you can PROVE that you were coerced by force into submitting the plea, or if you can PROVE that you were not of sound mind at the time you submitted the plea, a Judge MAY order a retrial -- but the Judge is not very likely to do so, because it is very unlikely that you will be able to PROVE to a reasonable satisfaction that either of these cases is true. You might ALLEGE them all you want to, but PROOF is another matter.
Remember, once you ALLEGE that you were coerced or that due to improper representation you plead guilty to a charge while you were not mentally fit to do so, the burden of PROOF falls on YOU rather than on the STATE -- this is because you are alleging a crime (violation of your rights) at that point.

You can change your plea up to the moment when you're convicted and found guilty. In some plea bargain cases the judge refuses to accept the terms of the deal. In this instance you are allowed to change your plea because the prosecutor cannot honor their bargain with you.

no count the state, nor the crime alleged, the decide will enter a plea of "no longer in charge" on behalf of the defendant, and s/he will stand trial. So, it is not extremely achievable to no longer plead. it extremely is an assumption interior the regulation that lines all the previously to Roman situations, time-honored as "the presumption of innocence." interior the U. S., that's upheld with the aid of the 5th, 6th, and Fourteenth Amendments to the form. The defendant is unfastened to take the stand in his or her own protection, or assert the 5th exchange good against self-incrimination, as is any defendant. Refusing to correctly known the authority of the courtroom is extremely greater trouble-free than you will think of. it is not unlawful. as quickly as a plea of in charge or no contest is entered, that's all yet impossible to withdraw the plea. Naughty snowballs have a greater effective threat ... ;) that's extremely somewhat trouble-free, although, for a defendant to withdraw a no longer in charge plea halfway interior the path of the trial, and settle for the state's plea settlement. as quickly as s/he realizes they are loosing, that's. :) that's the tip of the trial. The jury is brushed off, and the defendant is sentenced. Civil situations, in spite of if, are somewhat distinctive. in case you fail to furnish a protection to the reason for action, you loose. that's referred to as a "default judgment." That way, you are able to no longer "rigidity" the plaintiff to loose with the aid of in simple terms ignoring the case. for sure, if each physique ought to easily try this, there'd be no factor to civil courts. :) wish this enables! :)

As soon as a judge accepts your plea, you cannot change it.

Yes, but you'd have a tough fight. Never plead guilty even if you are...

Nope.
A plea is as good as a conviction.
