77. If he was blackout drunk, perhaps not.

Doesn't mean that it didn't happen or he is somehow less responsible for what he did because he was drunk.

It reads to me like he is admitting to at the least a lot of blackouts during that time, if he can't truly deny it. I'd like to think people would admit or deny something like that outright rather than hide behind a "blackout" to say it's possible he did it and avoid calling his victim a liar.

But then again that may be the only way he can figure out how to apologize and not invalidate the story but still avoid an outright admission that would open him up for civil liability. Still, drunk or not he'd still be responsible even in civil court, so the strategy of "I don't remember" is bad. If he testified he didn't remember the night in question, then preponderance of the evidence would lean toward a suit victory against him anyway.
