Personally I don't think he will get anything but a slap on the wrist and told "don't do that again". It seems more a cover the ethics boards asses than getting any thing done.
The bar association, which filed the ethics charges Thursday, will not schedule Nifong's trial-like hearing for at least three months, Lunsford said Friday.
The bar cited nearly 50 remarks Nifong made to reporters and said many amounted to "improper commentary about the character, credibility and reputation of the accused."

I always thought "accusing him of saying misleading and inflammatory things to the media about the athletes under suspicion." was lying.
That must be what the law calls stretching the truth.............

I think think they are delaying because of a cover. From what I read, more charges are coming. As you probably know, the government moves slow.
Regarding how much time should Nifong get for lying if it is proven, I would say it depends on how much time he gets if he is guilty of violating the players civil rights, obstruction of justice, etc.

He will be put off the case. His actions will be reviewed. He may be disbarred from ever working again. Besides... who would hire him now ? .. Good Luck ! :)
