what happened at my arrainment hearing was, they called me up, the states attourney told me what i would get if i plead guilty, (which was $500 fine and court costs) so i plead "no contest" that means that i am not saying that i did it, but im not contesting it and saying that i didnt. "no contest" just means that you are willing to take the deal the states attourney gave you, and get it over with. no trial, just get it over with there.
