The News & Observer has been a Nifong cheerleader since early in the case. The loss of its support is a huge blow to him.

This looks like an opinion piece from a law professor, not an editorial by the paper itself. Too bad, sounds like this guy Nifong is trying to frame innocent kids.

This looks like an opinion piece from a law professor, not an editorial by the paper itself.

True, but it appeared on the OpEd page in the editorial section. And yesterday, a column from the editorial board itself was published, and, although not quite as damning as Kennedy's piece, it's pretty close.
