Almost no innocent characters have ever pled guilty in the history of television unless they're Taking the Heat for someone else. If it's just them, though, heck no. When a Law Procedural plot involves an innocent defendant, there will almost invariably be a point where the case will be stacked horribly against them, and they will be offered a deal by the DA. Something like, "Wendell, we can't win this. Your car was found at the scene of the crime, forty eyewitnesses are positive it was you, it sure does look like you on the security footage, and the jury are apparently collaborating on a book called Burn in Hell, Wendell Spatz, You Guilty Guilty Scumbag. The DA says if we plead guilty you'll be out in three days, and you'll also get a week in the Bahamas with Scarlett Johansson. Plead now and they'll throw in a set of steak knives." To which the defendant will give an adamant reply: "I won't say I'm guilty." That's it! End of discussion! No negotiations! No pragmatism! Admit to something he didn't do? Why, he'd rather be eaten alive by cockroaches! This could be a Justified Trope, if the defendant has previously been established as a rigorously honest person who stakes his/her personal integrity on Will Not Tell a Lie, especially under threat of punishment, but mostly such shows don't bother. Another reason for this to be justified is that having a conviction, even if minor, on your record can really mess up your day. Even though you only spent three days in prison, you're still a convicted criminal for the rest of your life. Trying to apply for jobs, loans, and things like that gets a lot harder. So even if you're not idealistic, you might still decide that you're better off taking the chance of proving your innocence. Of course, in the kind of extreme case described above, that doesn't make quite as much sense. Which is all, of course, a way of setting up the standard Lawyer Must Win Against Inconceivable Odds plot. This trope should not be confused with Never My Fault, which, in a context similar to this trope, would be this sort of attitude being held by someone who's actually guilty, far too selfish to cop to it, and far too smug to accept a Plea Bargain. The version of this which actually exists in the world of criminal law is the plea of nolo contendere ("I do not wish to contend"), more commonly known as No Contest — entered when the defendant will accept the sentence but will not enter a guilty plea. Not accepted in all cases and jurisdictions. Compare Insists on Being Suspected. |

When They See Us: All five of the boys rejected a plea deal from the DA because they wouldn't plead guilty to something they didn't do. Yusef and Kevin categorically refuse to say they raped anyone for the mandatory sex offenders group as well. Korey refuses to lie at his parole hearings by saying he committed the crimes which he's been convicted of, despite it meaning he'll stay in prison. | |

The Practice: It happens frequently. In one episode, the defendant reluctantly agrees to plead guilty (while still privately denying guilt), after the jury is done deliberating. The plea is accepted, and then Bobby discovers that the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. In two cases, prisoners who maintained they're innocent refused to say that they were guilty in hopes of gaining parole. One time the parole board granted it anyway, which they noted was probably the first time that had happened (since it's required that a prisoner confess generally as part of taking responsibility). However, in the second case he was denied and had to wait until DNA exonerated him. This is a real thing, called the innocent prisoner's dilemma. |

In The X-Files, Mulder does this in the series finale. He's up for murdering a man who cannot die (because he's a Super-Soldier). He knows that it's all a ploy to get rid of him and the Truth and that the guy isn't really dead, and therefore refuses to plead guilty to a crime he didn't commit. It doesn't help that he is tortured in a brainwashing attempt and endures a Kangaroo Court. Even after being sentenced to death by lethal injection, he refuses to plead guilty or recant his knowledge of the Truth. | |

A variation in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War. In middle school, Ishigami gets suspended for punching Ogino, a boy who was the boyfriend of a girl he knew. In truth, he was righteously furious because Ogino was a slimeball who planned on cheating on (and releasing sex tapes of) his girlfriend, but Ogino frames it as an attack from a Crazy Jealous Guy. While suspended, the school tells him he's only allowed to come back if he writes an apology letter, essentially admitting that the incident was a simple act of aggression. Ishigami decides to reject the offer, saying that he doesn't want to lie to himself and the school just to have the whole thing over with—and as a result he stayed suspended until the Student Council and Iino vouch for him. | |

In the third case of The Great Ace Attorney 2, Ryunosuke butts heads with his own client, Albert Harebrayne, on this. While he protests the charge of murder, Albert is content to accept charges of wrongful death, more motivated to preserve his hypothesis and integrity as a scientist than his freedom. Ryunosuke, however, is insistent on a full acquittal, which he aims to get by arguing that the invention which allegedly killed the victim was a sham. Absolutely horrified by this, Albert winds up testifying against himself until Ryunosuke successfully convinces Albert that his engineer has swindled him and should be further investigated. | |

Averted in Con Air: Poe pleads guilty to murder, following his attorney's advice, but it doesn't make much sense how the odds could possibly be so stacked against him when it was clearly self-defense in a bar-brawl against four guys. Not that it matters much — Poe had the bad luck of being assigned a Hanging Judge who refused to grant him mercy either way (the judge's reason to put him in jail, paraphrased: "as a trained soldier, you are a Living Weapon and you must be judged by harsher standards than normal men!"). | |

Law & Order: At least one episode featured a defendant who reluctantly pled guilty to a murder that he is later exonerated of. The twist was that his lawyer was crooked and strong-armed him into taking the plea deal for a bribe from the actual guilty party. As a rule, though, most defendants on the show will plea out once enough evidence piles up against them, but usually not until they've gone to trial. In one case, a Mafia boss takes an Alford plea when he's accused of putting out a successful hit on an Assistant District Attorney — specifically saying he didn't order the hit, but that the DA has enough to convict him at trial. Afterwards, the mobster tells McCoy that he should have known the truth because the rules he's followed in the family have always been "No cops, no DA's." |

Pretty much all of the Phoenix Wright trilogy, in general. If a client is pleading innocent, then you'd better believe they're innocent. If they're pleading guilty, then they're either covering for someone or believe they did it, even when in truth they didn't. Never does Phoenix have a client who's actually guilty, and he seems totally aware of that, refusing to allow them to plead guilty no matter what. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Averted in the first book by Ned Stark, one of the few characters in the series from whom you might expect this kind of Honor Before Reason act, who falsely confesses to treason to keep his children safe. In the third book in the series, Tyrion is urged to falsely confess to Joffrey's murder, on the grounds that he will be sent to the Wall and allowed to live out his days as a member of the Night's Watch rather than executed. Despite the evidence stacked firmly against him, he refuses to confess, since it would brand him as guilty of not only regicide, but kinslaying, which is seen as one of the most detestable crimes in the medieval society in which he lives — and more to the point, is seen as particularly detestable by him (having sacrificed so much and suffered so much abuse in the name of his family). The fact that nobody believes in his innocence, in addition to his horrible treatment throughout the series, is what causes him to eventually kill his father, ironically making him a kinslayer in truth. |

Ace Attorney: Pretty much all of the Phoenix Wright trilogy, in general. If a client is pleading innocent, then you'd better believe they're innocent. If they're pleading guilty, then they're either covering for someone or believe they did it, even when in truth they didn't. Never does Phoenix have a client who's actually guilty, and he seems totally aware of that, refusing to allow them to plead guilty no matter what. The exception that proves the rule is Yanni Yogi in the DL-6 incident. Instead of fighting for a full acquittal, he took his lawyer's suggestion of pleading temporary insanity. It worked, but it also destroyed his reputation, lost him his job, and drove his fiance to suicide. Fifteen years later, he kills the lawyer in revenge and frames the man he believes was the real killer—Miles Edgeworth. In case 2 of Justice For All, Phoenix is insistent on getting Maya a complete acquittal. This appears to be a rather suicidal move, as doing so forfeits her the ability to plead justifiable homicide, which the prosecutor has all but proven. Phoenix explains that if he allowed Maya to plead justifiable self-defense, that would still be admitting she did it, which would ruin her reputation and career. Phoenix believes Maya didn't do it, and based on what Mia told him about spirit channeling, he has proof. (It would never hold up in court, but it was enough to convince Phoenix that Maya absolutely could not have killed Grey.) In case 4 of Justice For All, this is subverted. When asked if he killed the victim, the defendant "truthfully" tells Phoenix that he didn't. He just hired someone else to do it, which makes him as guilty as if he'd done it himself, i.e. technically, he didn't do the deed. If you get the good ending, Phoenix's client switches to a guilty plea, since walking free would mean living in fear of his hitman killing him in revenge one day. In the third case of The Great Ace Attorney 2, Ryunosuke butts heads with his own client, Albert Harebrayne, on this. While he protests the charge of murder, Albert is content to accept charges of wrongful death, more motivated to preserve his hypothesis and integrity as a scientist than his freedom. Ryunosuke, however, is insistent on a full acquittal, which he aims to get by arguing that the invention which allegedly killed the victim was a sham. Absolutely horrified by this, Albert winds up testifying against himself until Ryunosuke successfully convinces Albert that his engineer has swindled him and should be further investigated. |

In The Sleeping Beauty Killer, Casey could've taken a plea deal for the death of her fiance and been out of prison in six years, which both her lawyer and her parents urged her to do given the overwhelming evidence against her. However, Casey insisted on pleading not guilty and going through a jury trial, saying she could never falsely admit to killing the man she loved. Even after being convicted of manslaughter, Casey has continued to protest her innocence. She's eventually vindicated. | |

His friends all believe he's innocent, of course, but he pleads guilty without a second thought. Turns out, of course, that he was framed, and had been successfully fooled by the plot as well. The crux of the realization was that the moon of the planet was still orbiting the debris, instead of having flown off into space due to lack of gravitational pull. | |
