If a person is given the chance of pleading guilty or innocent. Why would someone choose to plead innocent if pleading guilty gives a lesser punishment.

What happens if they plead innocent? Does the case remain open?

Sometimes people plead innocent because they are, or they believe they are. Sometimes they plead guilty because they are. Pleading guilty doesn’t necessarily mean that a person will get a lighter sentence. Judges sometimes ignore the plea deal and give the sentence they feel is just.
