Probably not, unless he struck a deal with her, perhaps through her attorney, in which he declines to violate her probation or press any charges if she stays mum until after the election. Now, the attorneys wouldn't say all that in precise terms, but lawyers have their own double-speak methods of conveying what they want and reaching an understanding without actually crossing the line.
Right, I know deals can be worked out. I know one possible resolution Nifong might have in mind is dropping the charges after he wins the election. I do think these charges might well have dropped after the primary had this not gotten so public.
He is boxed in somewhat here. If he drops these charges, he maybe seals his fate now as far as being sued and maybe charged with a crime.
