    It was pretty good (well, except the catching a horse by driving it right towards a barbed wire fence bit, anwyay) until the last few minutes, when it just fell apart. Tying someone to a horse like that to extort a confession would totally invalidate your case in court. And having someone utterly ignorant of how to control horses in "control" of the horse tied to a guy? Um, nope. As for simply releasing a domesticated forse into the Wyoming wild, you might as well just put a bullet in its head instead. That would be more merciful. An animal not used to fending for itself, with no herd? It'd starve, or get hit by a truck, or something.

    It wouldn't be the first time they did this. Remember the bear from last season?

    And, if you think about it, if you were a judge or on a jury, would you really believe a guy who claims that his confession was coerced by being tied up to a horse? Or would you assume they're just saying that to recant their confession?

    One would hope he'd have the sense to tell his lawyer about it immediately, and get pictures of the ligature marks on his ankles, not to mention the various other bruises and lacerations he'd've suffered getting dragged along that deck. But yes, a jury might not buy it.
    That just leaves trusting someone who knows nothing about horses to control the horse (which the show has established is pretty spooky) so that it doesn't just take off and drag the guy to death as a problem with it, but that seems like a pretty big problem to me--huge risk for little reason.
    Sacrifice of dramatic plausibility/complexity for a showy action sequence.... Blerg.

    In real life cases where a suspect confesses, then immediately recants and claims it was coerced, their lawyer typically files a motion with the judge to have that confession deemed inadmissible as evidence. The judge then has to make a decision as to whether or not to deny that motion. So it really all depends on what the judge thinks.
