The failed attempt at bribery doesn't seem to entirely dampen his spirit when it comes to squirming out of a tight situation, but he is now dropping his gaze like a scolded teenager, "It was worth a try."
He's getting desperate, he can't think straight when his knee is hurting like hell, and he's really lacking in excuses for his actions. Maybe just owning up to it will help. And if it doesn't, at least he died telling the truth, "The punishment is hardly befitting the crime here. So yes, I did knock him out, but it went no further than some poetry recital, then an easy escape for him. I didn't even go after him after that!"
