Pleas to an indictment or information are:
(A)Guilty;
(B)Not guilty;
(C)A former judgment of conviction or acquittal of the offense;
(D)Once in jeopardy;
(E)Not guilty by reason of insanity.
A defendant who does not plead guilty may enter one or more of the other pleas.

The court may, for good cause shown, allow a change of plea at any time before the commencement of the trial.
