Don't talk to the police... EVER
This video could save your life.
Seriously, it totally changed my understanding of the US's Fifth Amendment. It's long but I found it very interesting.

American laws and courts are quite interesting.
Good thing I don't live there. 
Some comparison points to Finland.
-The written apology letter would go into drawing someone into a trap and wouldn't count.
-You are allowed to lie to the police all you can ever come up with if there's even a slight chance it might be used against you and it won't count as indiscrimating to anything. Of course you have the right to remain silent too.
-And thank god we don't have the backwater jury system. I'd rather go under a judge(s) than some random idiots anyday.
There were more points but it's too late, need to sleep.

Well I think an apology letter would be less likely to be accepted if it had been dictated. The fact that it's in your own words AND in your own handwriting makes it hard for the defense to claim it was forced on you.
I'm wondering, though it's a bit of a tangent - anyone out there have any interesting run-ins with the cops and want to tell? Did you keep your mouth shut or did you talk?

What do you mean you have a entirely broken court system, and have not fixed it?

Gosh, that's the easiest thing there is".

Don't mind me just passing through. Just have to find that corner to sit in and cry a bit...
AFTER sueing you both for slander of course.
EDIT: Securing the evidence:

Baklava is Serbian and I'm a college student, so if you can afford prostitutes and good smack with the 12 euroes and 47 cents (which you only got after you sent my severed fingers to my mother and raided my bank account) and 45 Serbian dinars, then that's something quite telling, I say.

I would sue you for custody of both of you. And then sell you into slavery. I'd make a fortune.

That reminds me of my grand-grandpa's good pal who got captured by the Nazis and transported to some under-manned village farm to work as pretty much slave labor, and ended up banging lonely chicks over there 'til the end of the war.
Slavery has its advantages.
This might be a good time to get back on topic though.

It was a dark and stormy night. I was riding my bicycle when I came to a crossroads in the middle of nowhere. There was nobody but me and this other car, so I decided to go through a red light. I didn't see it at the time, but it turns out this other car was a police car. They turned on the lights and siren and started chasing me. I thought they were chasing somebody else so I got off the road. The police car got onto the crosswalk and cut me off. An officer came out and asked politely, "Excuse me, sir, may I see some ID?" I admitted everything, including that one time I had bad thoughts about Azagal. When they realized who I was, they put me in a cab. The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror. If anything I could say that this cab was rare, but I thought, "Nah, forget it. Yo, holmes to Bel-Air!" I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 and I yelled to the cabbie, "Yo holmes smell ya later!" Looked at my kingdom I was finally there, to sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.
