When a defendant enters a guilty plea, the court typically does not set a date for trial, as the plea indicates that the defendant is accepting responsibility for the crime. Instead, the court usually proceeds to sentencing, which may occur immediately or at a later date, depending on various factors such as the complexity of the case and the need for a presentence investigation.
