In Canada, a not guilty plea allows for negotiation with the Crown, for a lesser fine or penalty.
There's not really a plea in the US. Sure, you can argue in court. What how do you justify going 36 mph over the speed limit? I got ticketed for going 91 in 65 and when I went to the court they were like - " are you kidding me? just go pay your fine, you were driving too fast". LeBron should just pay the fine, get the points, move on with his life. Well, in some states you can actually take driving school once so often and get your points waived so that your insurance rates don't increase. But I guess if you have $$$ you can play the game on the different terms.
