New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara has plead no contest to a misdemeanor charge for his alleged involvement in a fight in Las Vegas in 2022, and is no longer facing felony charges. For a quick legal summary, a guilty plea is an admission that you committed the crime. In contrast, a plea of nolo contendere, or no contest, means you accept the conviction or punishments of a guilty plea without admitting guilt. An Alford Plea is one where you plead guilty but claim you are innocent; both result in a conviction, technically speaking.
