Not-Guilty

A not guilty plea in Florida is a formal statement by a defendant indicating that they deny guilt and contest the charges brought against them. When a defendant enters a not guilty plea, they are asserting their right to a trial, during which the prosecution must prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. Here are some key aspects of a not-guilty plea in Florida:

It's important to note that a not guilty plea does not prevent a defendant from later changing their plea to guilty or no contest if a plea agreement is reached or if they decide to admit guilt. Individuals facing criminal charges in Florida should consult with an attorney to understand their rights, potential defenses, and to navigate the legal process effectively.
