Guilty vs not guilty.

How does this work in court? Pleading guilty to a case guarantees a sentence. Whereas not guilty allows you a chance to defend yourself. Doesn’t seem like most defendants would plead guilty. Why is this even a thing?

Courts don’t like people who are clearly guilty but refuse to say so, so if you say you’re guilty they may give you a break and reduce the sentence you would otherwise receive if you made them go through the effort of showing that you are guilty
