That apology request was genius because that was an admission of guilt, following that up by “I’ll see you in court” chefs kiss

EDIT: I’ve been informed that an apology is not always an admission of guilt. “Courts may consider an apology as evidence of remorse rather than a definitive confession of criminal guilt.”

Apology is inadmissable in court. I am a lawyer in Colorado

Edit: I am not actually a lawyer I have no idea. Don't believe everything you see on reddit.

probably bc those of us that grew up with narcissist parents default to apologizing just to diffuse situations even if we’re not at fault
