If they really wanted to slug this thing out, I think they'd have grounds on the basis that a court cannot force a person to apologize for something. To do so is to force a person to admit guilt; something anathema to our justice system.

He pled guilty - they would ahve no legal legs to stand on.

A guilty plea is not an admission to anything except yes, I did this act, or deed. To go beyond that and say, oh, I am going to force you to say that what you did was wrong and you are sorry...THAT is where it crosses over a line in my mind.
