One News & Observer reader says: "How about a front-page apology to restore some of the damaged reputation your newspaper has caused for jumping to conclusions and assuming guilt!" Ombud Ted Vaden writes: "We need to recognize several things. One is that the [Duke sexual assault] story didn't conclude with the disclosure last week, by lawyers for Duke lacrosse players, that the results of all 46 players tested didn't link them to the alleged rape on March 13. ...Another is that The N&O didn't confect this story."
