Dear {audience},
I humbly offer my most heartfelt apology for the assault I perpetrated upon {victim} on {date/event}. While the matter is still working its way through the court system, I couldn't in good conscience let another day go by without saying how sorry I am for my role in what transpired.
In the heat of the moment, I body slammed {victim}. I am mortified at my violent, grossly inappropriate behavior, overreacting to a simple {question or other minor provocation}. I am grateful that {victim} was not seriously injured due to my hot temper and poor judgment.
Additionally, I apologize to the public for my misleading statement immediately after the incident. I was on the defensive and, honestly, a little in denial. It was hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that I'd assaulted another human being; it was easier for my mind to manufacture a mutual combat situation. This was wrong. {Add details if relevant.}
I hope that the victim accepts my apology and that, in turn, others will realize that this one misguided moment does not reflect the whole of me as a person and {business owner/elected official/candidate}.
My attorney has advised me to offer no further comment until the case is resolved. To that end, {he/she} can be reached at {phone/email}.
Sincerely,
{Name}
