Pleaded is correct; pled is non-standard, but is very common in American English. I just read an interesting article on this by Jacob Marian. (Google plead vs pled).

Also, if you hang yourself you say hanged for past tense, not hung.

Often has a silent t.

If you hung yourself, you ain't sayin nuttin!

I disagree.

A person hanged himself.

A person hung the picture on the wall.

@Nomorebirthdays

I don't care what grammarists decide to use, but for me it is much easier to understand, and I use the word: "Joe pled " guilty". Very simple and easy to understand.

I don't really get all this nonsense on present tense/past tense, when the word "Pled" does exist. More grammatical nonsense in my book. Isn't the english language difficult enough already? Lead(bullets are made of lead)Lead( as in a leader), just a couple to ponder.

Enough of the grammatical dramatization when simple words will suffice.
