Now, I didn't see this one coming. Where's Nancy Grace? She was on the story like white on rice (racial pun intended). In what has been a dramatic turn of events, not only does everyone get exonerated but the prosecutor gets disbarred and jailed. Now, the Duke President, who canceled the rest of the lacrosse season, apologizes to the players personally. An outstandingly big gesture from a very proud school.

From CNN.com:
Duke University President Richard Brodhead apologized Saturday for not better supporting the men's lacrosse players falsely accused in last year's highly publicized rape scandal.
Brodhead, speaking at the university's law school, said he regretted Duke's "failure to reach out" in a "time of extraordinary peril" after a woman accused three players of rape at a March 2006 party thrown by the team.
"Given the complexities of this case, getting the communication right would never have been easy," Brodhead said. "But the fact is that we did not get it right, causing the families to feel abandoned when they were most in need of support. This was a mistake. I take responsibility for it and I apologize for it."
