So let me see if I follow here. Registering as a sex offender and likely going to prison is a better option than $25k in restitution?

I will say that your conspiracy theory is the first thing I've seen on this thread that plausibly makes sense for LIEfong's case. It's far-fetched and about as unethical as anything I've ever witnessed, but this case is going down in the history books anyhow so why not add some forced testimony as well? Your scenario is the only thing that makes any sense for LIEfong. How sad is that?

No. Kim Roberts pleas to abetting a rape, get one month probation and testifies against Evans, Finnerty and Seligmann. Nifong scrubbs her restitutions and prior porbation and she is probably ignorant of the implications of registering.

I don't think it will work, but I really fear that is what he is going to try to pull. Roberts is amoral enough to go along with it. And it is sad but consistent with arresting the cabbie.
