I'm sure you consider this a wild hypotheses that probably never actually really ever happens, but is it anywhere in the realm of possibility?
Or did they actually have to threaten his son in the courtroom to influence his answers there?
My statement does not discount the idea the duress could have been carried with him from outside the courtroom. I'm just trying to understand what qualifies as duress for him while entering his plea. I mean, if it was that they could possibly go after his son then that would mean there are countless plea deals that would have to be thrown out.
