Are there any lawyers here that can explain how a prosecutor can use a witness that has been compromised so?
Can the duress the witness is under be used at trial?

This approach was used in an appeal to a federal district court. The court through it out, essentially saying it was a necessary prosecutorial tool.

I believe you are correct.

But we have not been able to have a court so rule, yet.
