There is definitely a perfectly valid reading of that letter that says he doesn't get it or is deluding himself or otherwise isn't willing to face up to just how bad what he did was, certainly... a "funny prank that got bigger", "sometimes horse playing", minimizes a pattern of bullying over a period of years. So it's not unreasonable for his mom to say that apology isn't satisfactory and doesn't reflect real remorse.
But it still feels like we're attempting to conduct a forensic analysis about someone's feelings through press statements, and in that context statements like this about someone who is reading those press statements differently from you are, from where I sit, completely insane.
