I wonder if what might save him is he asked for a lawyer before giving the duress PIN, a lawyer might have told him it was a bad idea to do it.

The fact they violated his Miranda rights might get him out of the situation. But he surely should have just kept saying "lawyer" and nothing else.

I'd be surprised. Asking for a lawyer doesn't mean they can't use anything you voluntarily say or do after that against you.
