DR -What a mentch this Judge is -I wouldn’t have freed her for an apology. Also, the fact that courts don’t follow the Torah is Not Judges fault, but the legilative branch of Gov. Also, a Goy might be Chayuv in Derech Eretz as we see by Damim B’niseena.
We live in a Dor of “Chutzpa Yasgi” even with Yidden -the Judge taught a lesson that this isn’t a Chiyuv (“Chutzpa Yasgi”).
