In its response to Thao’s attorneys’ motion alleging Mitchell coerced Baker into changing his findings, the state of Minnesota took offense at the very idea that Mitchell might have influenced Baker. The acid-tongued state prosecutor Matthew Frank wrote: “Dr. Baker testified under oath that no one involved in this case pressured him or influenced him to say anything other than the truth,” adding, “Baker’s owns [sic] sworn testimony makes clear that he was not coerced. He did not change his findings in this case, and there is no factual basis to claim otherwise.”

Apparently he doesn't understand what coercion means, or he's the first prosecutor on earth to not know that people lie under testimony.
