Rule 410 outlines the inadmissibility of certain pleas and statements in civil or criminal proceedings against the defendant who made the plea or participated in plea discussions. It specifies that withdrawn guilty pleas, nolo contendere pleas, and certain statements made during plea discussions are not admissible. Exceptions include cases where another statement from the same plea discussions is introduced or in proceedings for perjury if the statement was made under oath. The rule aims to promote the compromise of criminal cases by ensuring free communication during plea discussions.
