““A prisoner who is coerced into entering a plea of guilty is deprived of a constitutional right. “Appellant has stated facts sufficient to raise the question of whether he was coerced into pleading guilty, and neither the state attorney’s answer nor the record refutes these allegations. Although the defendant may have some difficulty in proving these facts, he is entitled to a hearing.””
