If the defendant refuses to enter any kind of plea at all out of obstinance, the court usually just enters a plea of not guilty and sets it for trial. The defendant generally comes around. On some occassions with an incarcerated defendant who refuses to plead one way or another, the judge will just reset the hearing and let him sit in jail for a week or two with no “good time” running to make his mind up.
