It is up to him to put on the evidence that you took the money.If he has an attorney, you may want to hire an attorney who does civil defense work to be sure that you answer all discovery properly and to file a motion for summary judgment. You did not say how much loss the theft caused. Unless the amount of money is fairly large, the attorney may cost more that it is worth.

The attorney does not have to present him with plea papers in the language that he speaks. You husband was asked by the judge if he understood what he signed and if it was explained to him by his attorney. A no contest plea has the same affect as a guilty plea, as it pertains to the criminal consequences. You will not have much success in making a case that your husband did not understand, considering the judge more than likely asked all the appropriate questions and was provided a licensed interpreter to take the plea.
