No. All persons suspected of crimes should be presumed innocent until and unless the gorvernment can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that they committed the alleged crime. If additional charges or penalties were applied for pleading not guilty, this would place undue pressure on the accused to forgo their day in court (which is their right).
