Here is the right answer to the crossword clue Plea that waives the right to a trial NYT featured in the NYT puzzle. The correct answer to this clue is NOCONTEST.
In legal terms, a "no contest" plea, also known as "nolo contendere," is a defendant's formal declaration that they will not contest the charges brought against them. By entering a no contest plea, the defendant does not admit guilt but also does not dispute the charges, effectively waiving their right to a trial.
This plea results in a conviction, similar to a guilty plea, but it cannot be used as an admission of guilt in a subsequent civil lawsuit based on the same facts. Defendants might choose a no contest plea for various reasons, such as avoiding the cost and time of a trial, limiting potential civil liability, or accepting a plea bargain offered by the prosecution.
