In my opinion that is pure semantics. The situation you described can be characterised as the prosecutor telling the accused that they will suffer X regardless, plus the threat that they will additionally suffer Y if they refuse to co-operate. That seems to resemble the definition of Coercion [0]:- "The action or practice of persuading someone to do something by using force or threats."
