No contest is entered by defense implying a position of weakness in trial, not the other way around. If the state doesn't like its case, they will reduce or drop the charges to more appropriately reflect the evidence. They don't offer no contest pleas, defensive maneuver. Not really that important, I was mostly concerned with reading the countless "Geoff's a muckraking bum" comments around the blogs. I feel that position to be lazy and typically reactionary.
