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."
