Comment on In Arkansas can my brother sue the public defender for pressing him to take a deal and was told don't tell the judge you were pressed into this plea because I will jail you mom?
Yea but after being threatened to take the deal or else?
Yes, that’s exactly how it works. It just seems normal because it’s on Law and Order, but threatening people with prison is coercive.
