Question about the real-life case.
From Wikipedia:
"It's also been suggested that Tiede's handwritten confession (a major factor in the murder being considered first-degree) was heavily influenced by threats of leaking private videotapes of Tiede. When presented with the new evidence, Davidson agreed that had he known this information in the original trial he would have sought a lighter sentence."
Wikipedia is only as good as the linked sources. In this case, the source is dead:

Anywhere else I can find this info?
