In criminal trials in certain United States jurisdictions, it is a plea where the defendant neither admits nor disputes a charge, serving as an alternative to a pleading of guilty or not guilty. A no-contest plea, while not technically a guilty plea, has the same immediate effect as a guilty plea and is often offered as a part of a plea bargain.

Fuhrman is the only person to have been convicted of criminal charges related to the Simpson case.His probation ended early in 1998, and his felony charges were expunged 18 months later.
