“I’m sorry. I know I was wrong. I would like to acknowledge that. I feel very bad about what I have done, and I realize that I have caused you great hurt. And now let me hear you speak, so I can get a fuller sense of what I have done to you. And after you have finished, let me prove that you have been heard, and let me try to make things right and restore our relationship and earn back, or gain, your friendship and respect.” (From Thane Rosenbaum’s The Myth of Moral Justice: Why Our Legal System Fails to Do What’s Right, p180.)
