BATES: "First and foremost, let me apologize to the family of Eric Harris. You know, this is the second worst thing that has ever happened to me or first, that has ever happened to me in my life."

COOPER: "Joining us now is Eric Harris' brother, Andre. Andre, I appreciate you being with us. I'm sorry it's under these circumstances. You heard Mr. Bates there apologizing to your family, saying it was the second worst thing that's ever happened to him and then saying it's probably the first worst thing that has happened to him. Do you accept his apology?"
HARRIS: "Well, first I would like to thank you guys for covering this story and giving my brother his story and an opportunity to spread this case across the nation and giving this case the attention that it needs."
COOPER: "What about what Mr. Bates said, the apology, when you heard that, what did you think?"
HARRIS: "What I would like to say that we accept Mr. Bates' apology. I've been forgiven of my sins and things that I've done in the past and absolutely I forgive Mr. Bates. However, we still have to shine the light on the darkness. We still have to unveil this evil. Mr. Bates shouldn't have had to use a taser on my brother. Mr. Bates shouldn't have shot Eric with a 357 magnum. Mr. Bates has a price to pay."
COOPER: "When you say --" 
HARRIS: "But I do forgive him."
