Duke Prosecutor Apologizes To Accused Lacrosse Players

"To the extent that I made judgments that ultimately proved to be incorrect, I apologize to the three students that were wrongly accused," the district attorney, Michael B. Nifong, wrote in a three-paragraph statement a day after the state attorney general, Roy A. Cooper, dismissed all the charges and called him a "rogue" prosecutor.

"I also understand that when someone has been wrongly accused, the harm caused by the accusations might not be immediately undone merely by dismissing them," Mr. Nifong wrote. "It is my sincere desire that the actions of Attorney General Cooper will serve to remedy any remaining injury that has resulted from these cases."
