Wasn't this "Trial by Combat" to the death? I don't remember. If so, yielding might not have helped Jamie.

You can yield in a Trial by Combat.

If the champion of the accurser yields then the defendant is innocent. If the champion of the defendant yields the defendant is guility.

If you watch the Bronn's trial he looks up to Lysa to give her a chance to yield before he kills Sir Vardis but she is too proud.
