• holding that evidence as to voluntariness of guilty plea, allegedly entered in exchange for leniency toward defendant’s pregnant wife, was not sufficiently developed on collateral review
• “A defendant who knowingly and voluntarily enters a plea of guilty [or nolo contendere] waives all nonjurisdictional challenges to his conviction.”
• threats against third party impose “high burden of good faith” on prosecutor that is met by probable cause to believe that the third party had committed a crime at the time of threat — case remanded to determine what the police knew at the time of the threat
• “Factual issues include . . . credibility determinations.”
