He was protesting his innocence before going to court and still is. That's why he asked to appeal as he is entitled to do. Judging the sincerity of someone's remorse is impossible. I dare say our jails are full of people who've committed serious crimes, apologised in court to get a lesser punishment and upon release carried on precisely where they left off. How would requiring Evans to apologise for what happened change anything? If he did so now I dare say many people would simply write it off as a cynical gesture intended to assuage public opinion.
