In November of last year I wrote a column about Nick Cheolas, a bright kid who was motivated by his own family's run-in with the criminal justice system to go to law school. There he joined the University of Michigan's Innocence Clinic, where he helped win the release of Dwayne Provience, a man wrongly convicted of murder in 2000.
Last October, I posted the bad news that Cheolas had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Cheolas now reports on his blog that his cancer is in remission.
Great news. Congratulations to Nick and his family.

This post had all the makings of a classic Balko nutpunch, and then just like that -boom!- a happy ending.
Does this mean we have an even bigger nutpunch lined up for Friday?
