People are capable of doing TERRIBLE things to one another. Some do and get caught. Among them some deny/lie and some apologize. Why?

Of what value is an apology? It doesn't wipe out what was done. You don't know if the person sincerely regrets doing the terrible thing or just regrets being caught. Some of them are very good phonies and can convince you of anything. Whether the perp admits/apologies or denies/lies what was done was done and cannot be undone.  Why apologize? Are you comforted when someone apologizes to you? Do YOU feel better when you apologize to others, assuming you do apologize? Since we never know if the apology is for real or for show how can you ever take any of them seriously? Inquiring minds wanna know.
