Any freshman law student would tell us that when an accused makes a plea of ''GUILTY'' in his arraignment, but hastens to embellish his plea with a lot of qualifications and reservations, the judge would put on record that such a response is equivalent to a plea of "NOT GUILTY." In fact, silence or a refusal to plead is likewise tantamount to a plea of "NOT GUILTY."
