“I never meant to hurt him, only kidnap and potentially murder his wife!”
In his defense, the article does a much better job of explaining the apology than the headline

What in that article explains his apology better?
He switched from left to right because of a youtube video and then broke into a government official’s house with a deadly weapon.
He then used the deadly weapon when he knew he would be caught.
Fuck him.
His sad snff snff Rittenhouse dance in court is just to avoid life in prison.
Oh, look, it’s another non-apology “apology”:
That’s what you say when you back into someone in a volleyball game or something. Paul Pelosi wouldn’t have been “hurt” (and ended up in hospital for most of a week) if a crazy guy hadn’t broken into his house, tied him up, and hit him with a hammer.
For the record, an actual and sincere apology for a major wrong consists of saying you’re sorry for what you did, you know what you did was wrong, that what you did affected the other person in negative ways, you apologize for the injury(s) suffered, you offer some kind of restitution or compensation, you promise to avoid the action in future, and you take concrete steps toward avoiding that action.
“He wasn’t my target and I’m sorry that he somehow mysteriously and inexplicably got injured when I broke into his house, tied him up, threatened him, and hit him with a hammer and I just don’t understand how that happened” is not an apology.
I’m pretty sure that’s the best apology you can offer when you plead not guilty.
“I didn’t think making contact with his body with a hammer at full force would do anything but give him a light tickle!”
Maybe saying “much better” was over the top. But I think the headline makes it sound like he only expressed remorse about hurting the wrong person, instead of the fact that he expressed overall remorse.
Yeah I think the headline pretty neatly sums this one up. Nothing in the article makes that sound any better.
