Wrong date and what's the question?
Nobody 'made' you do anything. You had to tell the judge on the record that your plea was 'voluntary', not coerced, and that the deal was acceptable to you. You don't get to claim differently later, or blame anyone for your plea. You could always have refused to plea, and forced the case to trial. Your PD likely told you the risks of trial meant that if you went to trial and lost, you would be sentenced to the full extent of the statute. That is not 'making you' plea, merely confronting you with the reality of your situation and the consequences of your actions.
