/ˈnoʊloʊ kənˈtɛndəri/ – Phrase
Definition: “tôi không muốn tranh cãi” (lời tuyên bố từ chối tranh cãi về lời buộc tội).
A more thorough explanation: “Nolo contendere” is a Latin term that translates to “I do not wish to contend.” In legal terms, it refers to a plea in a criminal case where the defendant does not admit guilt but agrees to accept punishment. This plea has the same effect as a guilty plea in terms of sentencing, but it does not require the defendant to admit to the criminal act.
Example: In a criminal case, the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere, meaning they did not admit guilt but accepted the punishment.
