The plea still does not define the verdict.  And more importantly, at the time
of the post that this was in response to, no plea had been entered.  And a plea
of no contest is not an admission of guilt.  I've been forced to plead "Nolo
contendre'" (or however it's spelled) on several out of state traffic tickets
where I was innocent and only stopped because the officer knew I was out of 
state and wouldn't contest it.  It's a scam and it sucks, but when it costs
more to make two court dates to contest the ticket than it would to pay it, 
what are you going to do?  So your statement is not accurate in the least.  As
for your OPINIONS, which you seem to enjoy spouting all over the net, I'm as
tired of it as anyone else.  Take it elsewhere.
