Pity we don't have a [[Sherman Austin]], I think he's due to get out of prison on the 1st of September. From what I've read he was likely coerced into pleading guilty.
We should have an article about him, but I think he was just released to a half-way house the other day.
I think it is unlikely that he was "coerced" into pleading guilty any more than anyone ever is, i.e. threatened with the possibility of a very long jail sentence if he fought, he accepted a plea bargain that guaranteed him only 1 year in jail.
But, if Wikipedia had an article, we could find out. :-)
