The opening paragraphs of Jospeh Neff's story said Durham District Attorney Mike Nifong had proceeded with rape indictments against two lacrosse players the same day he asked a police investigator to look into whether the accuser's injuries might have had causes other than the alleged rape. That was wrong, and a Page One correction followed. Neff and his editor tell Ted Vaden how the mistake was made. More editor/ombud columns:
