That's "pled" guilty, Mr. Reporter. Ack!

I'm pretty sure that "pleaded" is the correct form.

the dudley manlove quartet had over a $100K? that is more surprising than the grifting.

Is this some sort of gay band?

@1, @2: I wasn't aware of this until now, but "pled" vs. "pleaded" is a long-standing and contentious issue. The OED records "pled" back as far as 1596. "Pleaded" is the only correct form in the UK, but in the US, "pled" is OK -- unless you're up against someone who says it isn't.
