What's with all this juvenile debate about "coerced" and "equitable"? All law is coercive; that's how it works. There's no value in seeking equality when punishing an illegal act, else A could force B into any transaction: "Sell me your child for 10 mil." "No." "Ok, I'll kidnap her and the courts will only force me to pay you 2.5."
They should have burned the dishonest little simpleton a bit more.
