Answer to Question 1

Answer: It may be at any time before pronouncement of sentence. It may be at any time the accused did not
understand the significance of a guilty plea. It may be when the plea was coerced and not voluntary.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A plea of nolo contendere, meaning I will not contest it, or no contest, is essentially equivalent to a plea
of guilty. In some jurisdictions, the nolo contendere plea may not be used against the defendant in a civil
matter because the defendant has not admitted guilt. As pointed out, a plea of guilty is a formal type of
confession of the act charged. Not all states permit a nolo contendere plea to be entered by a defendant.
