Should trust be earned slowly and in small increments or can I just trust a person who apologizes to me?

This will depend on how serious the injustice is and on how sincere the apology is.  If the person had a deep injustice against you,such as consistently stealing money from the bank account, you may need to monitor that account for a while, given the consistent nature of the theft.  Also, an apology needs to be sincere with a firm commitment by the other to amend the unjust ways.  This, again, may need time on your part to be sure the apology was sincere.  So, in cases of serious injustice, trust likely will be earned slowly, in increments as you say.
