Implied Consent
Having been convicted of a crime or having admitted the commission of a crime by pleading “guilty” (saying you did it). a defendant may also be found guilty by a judge after a plea of “no contest,” or in Latin nolo contendere. the term “guilty” is also sometimes applied to persons against whom a judgment has been found in a lawsuit for a civil wrong, such as negligence or some intentional act like assault or fraud, but that is a confusing misuse of the word since it should only apply to a criminal charge.
