I suspect that North Carolina has statutes prohibiting perjury and obstruction of justice and criminal contempt, lying to the court, malicious prosecution... I'm sure there are more. In addition he faces at least 5 to 10 years on the 18 USC § 242 Federal charge.
I suspect that Mr. Nifong may be suicidal at this point. He has no future.
Now, now—his name will live in infamy! You know how sci-fi shows us made up words to take the place of the ‘f-bomb’?
Well, the new word will be ‘nifong’! As in, “What the nifong?!”, “Don’t nifong with me, you mother-nifong!” and “Sharpton and Jackson nifonged Don Imus into losing his jobs!”.
