To grasp its conception, one should first clear the stage of guilty plea, because it exists in investigation, prosecution and judgment. Then, the contents of guilty plea is not only confess one’s crime, but also admit that one’s behavior form a crime, the latter is a kind of value judgment, it should be decided by those who dealing with the case. Thirdly, as a legal lawsuit behavior, plead guilty has some legal consequence, which should be confirmed by who dealing with the case.
