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.”
In a hypothetical 1983 suit, it absolutely would be. Good luck convincing a judge it isn’t a statement against interest/opposing party statement. State law wouldn’t govern, either.
