No contest means that Parrow acknowledges that she would likely be found guilty if the case went to trial. It's the same as a conviction. Judge Jeffery Wright will sentence Parrow after she undergoes a psychological evaluation and presentence investigation. Criminal Homicide Guilty but Mentally Ill, Aggravated Assault Guilty but Mentally Ill and Strangulation - Blocking the Nose & Mouth of the Person Guilty but Mentally Ill.
