Where a defendant enters a guilty plea but makes and persists in an allegation (such as duress) that undermines that plea, the plea cannot stand as unequivocal; the magistrate should not record conviction but should enter a plea of not guilty and ensure the matter is properly tried — appeal allowed and matter remitted for plea to be retaken.
