And before you say he would, think that he obviously had his lawyers help him write this.

Something stinks here.
I said make amends so I don't think we even need to get into a technicality of who's lying. Going into the lockerroom to apologize to the entire team is not making amends to Aliu, (especially when he's drafting up a letter to have him sent down...). Not when Aliu still apparently has a very reasonable grudge a decade later.

Even a personal apology isn't making amends in this situation. Not given the outcome. If he wanted to make amends for his actions, he should have done something to try and really make amends, explain the situation to Bowman, bring in some type of conflict management expert, but instead it appears he tried to relieve himself of the "problem child" instead of trying to fix the situation that was so clearly broken by him. And in doing so he could have ruined Aliu's career.

Even if you buy into Peters bs, he's saying he's regretted actions since then. So what has he done in the last 10 years to make up for it to Aliu? I'll await confirmation that Peters has tried to contact and apologize to Aliu several times as anyone else who has regretted their actions but I have a feeling I will be waiting awhile.
