| has gloss | spa: En Estados Unidos, el término del latín nolo contendere (en español sería: "no quiero contender") es un alegato que se puede declarar en vez de culpabilidad o inocencia. El resultado de hecho es parecido a la culpabilidad, pues normalmente conlleva una condena, pero el acusado no confiesa culpabilidad. Spiro Agnew una vez describió el alegato así: "I didnt do it, but Ill never do it again" (lo cual podría traducirse por "no lo hice, pero no lo volveré a hacer jamás"). Este alegato es relativamente exclusivo al Derecho de Estados Unidos. |
