Jeffrey Jones, the character actor, in his case for taking nude pictures of a minor: I'm sorry that this incident was allowed to occur. Such an event has never happened before, and it will never happen again. I hate this kind of talk. Notice the passive nature of it. He never says I'm sorry I did this. Rather, an incident was allowed to occur. The judge should not take a plea based on this statement, as it does not assume responsibility. He should be required to say "I'm sorry I did this vile, sorry act. I won't ever do it again. If I do, kill me."
