AnonymousIs the use of the word pled in the following example grammatically correct?

The parties have pled not guilty ..In this case the simple past tense and the past participle are identical. (You can always find them listed in your dictionary.)
The present perfect tense uses the present of "to have" plus the past participle. (He has pled not guilty.)
