Normally a prosecutor is immune from lawsuits. However, that only applies to situations concerning decisions as to whether to file criminal charges. In Nifong's case, he has been actively involved in the investigation. that being the case, and especially if he filed an affidavit in the case; he would be personally liable for civil rights damages.
