Man Falsely Confessed to Help Assassin Escape

“In the moments after Charlie Kirk was killed, a 71-year-old man yelled to police officers that he was the shooter, but he later explained that he had falsely confessed in order to help the real assassin escape,” the New York Times reports.

“The man, a political gadfly named George Zinn, was arrested on suspicion of obstruction of justice, a felony, with the police saying that he had delayed investigators’ hunt for the actual perpetrator.”
