Yes, they can charge you with perjury, among other things. Your lawyer can be sanctioned by the BAR as well.

The prosecutor can file an ethical complaint against your attorney, if he thinks your attorney violated any of the specific ethical obligations as defined by your state.
The prosecutor can attempt to charge you with fraud, or perjury, if he can prove you commited those specific crimes. Other than that, double jeopardy attaches and you cannot be tried in the same court for the same offense.

make sure you never come before him again. He'll remember you. Without additional chgs, he can't do anything.
