The best we could probably hope for is disbarment. These things don't usually end up in criminal convictions. I would imagine a perjury charge is possible, but it seems unlikely.
A good question, but we already know the answer. At least more killer cops are getting charged and jailed, and that judge who threw the kids into the for-profit prison for kickbacks.
