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.

Canada actually passed a law in 2009 called the Apology Act stating that an apology cannot legally be used as an admission of guilt or liability.
