english: It would have been better for him to say that it did take place, but what he said he said in the heat of passion, and not because he actually thinks like that, that he is sorry for it, and has asked for forgiveness.
non_english: Sarebbe stato meglio se avesse dichiarato che era vero, ma che aveva detto quella frase in un momento di rabbia e non perché lo pensasse davvero, che gli dispiaceva e che chiedeva perdono.
