I got a question for my question!!!! The trooper wanted to know the offense "malicious mischief", the offical officer, the judges name... HOW does that make any difference to me wanting to not plead- guilty or not guilty? (btw, it was my daugher, she threw 2 eggs at a house) There was no 'not contest' option on the form. And he told me that I shouldn't waste time for how backed up they were. HAH!!! If he just told me how... I'd be done by now!
Can anyone either tell me OR explain to me why not yet?

The offense, happened. We got the fine in the mail. I called to ask HOW to plead 'no contest' since it wasn't on the form. And got the run around. Now, trying to find the answer OR the reason for the run around. (I know the definition of 'no contest'. That ISN'T what I wanted to know.)

Well you understand the concept of "Not Guilty" and "Guilty" pleas I assume. The "no contest" plea (known officially as no lo contendre) is a plea where you neither agree nor disagree with the charge, and merely ask the court to look at the facts of the case as currently submitted, and render a judgement. (It was made famous by Spiro Agnew).
Under no contest, you can not deny the charges to the court, nor offer evidence that shows you may be innocent. It is, for all intents, a plea of guilty.
