OT Legal question
If a person is charged with grand larsony a felony, and they plead no contest, after they have made restitution and served probation, if the judge withholds ajudication are they a convicted felon?

It would seem to me that when one pleads no contest and that plea is accepted by the judge there is no longer any reason for the judge to "ajudicate" the case. It also seems that though there is no admission of guilt, the clear implication (in a legal perspective) is being guilty.
Sometimes people enter pleas when not guilty. Sometimes even members of our congress say they have done so! Remember Craig?
If this situation calls for a certain decision that depends on the individual's legal status you should have your own paid for legal advice to cover your own legal status in your decision. Short of that (which many might find as the easy way out) you will need to make your own decision concerning the individual. It'll then be between him or her, you, and God Almighty!

Good to see you 20cows... AND with the correct answer.20cows wrote:Yep.
Rusty, is somebody trying to explain away a felony conviction to get a gun from you? When in doubt, don't do it.

Thanks guys... BTW it's not me.
I understand no contest. The short answer is yea I'm guilty , but...
It was the withholding of the adjudication that had me thrown.
thanks,

Nolo contendre is latin for no contest (loose translation). You choose to not challenge the States' case.
There exist within certain States alternative pleas whereby you are "sentenced" to community service, probation and often rehabilitation programs and after successful completion of same, the court may reduce or vacate the conviction. The court defers adjudication in these cases

That is my opinion, although I will probably get told I am wrong. Oh well.WinM71 wrote:On a nolo contendre plea, the outcome will generally stand as a conviction.
