Yes, in many jurisdictions, you can change your plea from not guilty to guilty at any point during the legal process, even before being sentenced. However, the rules and procedures for changing a plea may vary depending on the laws of the specific jurisdiction in which the case is being heard.
In most cases, the defendant can change their plea voluntarily, but the court will typically require that the change of plea be made knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily. This means that the defendant should fully understand the consequences of their decision to plead guilty and that they are not being coerced or forced into changing their plea.
It is essential to consult with an attorney if you are considering changing your plea. An attorney can explain the implications of changing your plea and help you make an informed decision based on the specific circumstances of your case.
It's worth noting that once a plea is changed to guilty, the case will move forward to the sentencing phase, where the court will determine the appropriate punishment based on the guilty plea and other relevant factors.
