Legal Question in Criminal Law in North Carolina

From a technical standpoint, no - you can not send him to prison or hell because you do not have the authority to do so. Only a Judge can send someone to prison and I'm not even sure there is a hell but if there is, it is very, very likely you (or any other person for that matter) has the power to send someone there or you would have already done it. Also, the word 'lawsuit' is typically used to describe civil cases. So when you say you were not included in the original 'lawsuit' do you mean you were not included in the original criminal charges or a subsequent civil case? If you were not included in the original criminal charges it may be possible to bring those charges now. You will have at least two major hurdles: 1) proof / evidence issues and 2) a possible statues of limitations problem. Best of luck to you! .
