Why offer an apology if your not guilty?

As a Houston DWI Attorney I am surprised when an athlete or anyone else for that matter apologizes for a drunk driving arrest. For instance, Al Jefferson, Minnesota Timberwolve's center, did this week despite just getting arrested. One needs to remember that they are presumed to be innocent. A statement like this can be used against a person if they eventually go to trial. In a criminal case a statement should not be made until the case is resolved.
