Holy shit shut the fuck up.
If you plea guilty without getting a good plea deal you can actually go to jail for YEARS, since a guilty plea = judges assume the worst case.
Pleaing not guilty means you force the prosecution to put in hours of work against you, which delays the court date, which means you have a higher chance of them dropping the case and walking free.
Pleaing no-contest means he can appeal with a lawyer later and retry his case.
I also think pleaing no-contest might give a chance to appeal your record or something idk im not a lawyer
