“Appellant also contends that the district attorney threatened to seek the death penalty if appellant refused to plead guilty. Of course, the filing of the complaint and information charging murder in the first degree carried with it the clearly implied threat of the death penalty. Assuming a direct threat by the prosecutor to seek the greater penalty, there is no proper ground for setting aside the plea. ( People v. Toledo, 111 Cal.App. 204 , where the court, at page 208 [ 295 P. 353 ], expresses `serious doubt as to whether a statement by a district attorney that he contemplates doing his duty, may ever be considered as duress.')”
