Talk:The Lord Regent's Confession/@comment-92.21.204.96-20130529232827/@comment-8944282-20130529234345

You are right but even if Corvo said something I believe that they would not have believed him.The main reason why I think they would not believe him him for these simple reasons

1.He was found holding Kaldwin's corpse with his sword out(remember he was fighting Daud's assassins and never really sheathed it).

2.As you could have guessed Daud is good at framing people as you might have seen in the game and do you think they will believe if Corvo tells them:"Daud and his assassins came in killed the empress and left" they'd believe him? the Regent would most likely  make up another clever lie.

But eventhough I believe like you  this does acquit Corvo of the crime you must take in some consideration mabey the  Regent would lie to the guards when he is arrested and say that he payed Corvo to kill her because they still did not know who physically killed the empress.
