The elderly political activist who became the first person detained after claiming he'd shot Charlie Kirk told police he lied in an attempt to let the real killer get away.
George Zinn, a 71-year-old Utah resident, was initially suspected of being the shooter as he was taken into custody moments after Kirk, 31, was shot in the neck at an event at Utah Valley University last week.
Police documents now claim Zinn - who has several prior arrests for trespassing - admitted to causing a distraction to keep law enforcement away from the shooter, now alleged to be 22-year-old Tyler Robinson.
Zinn had repeatedly asked to see his attorney before making the confession.
He was later taken to a hospital to deal with a pre-existing medical condition and made a further disturbing admission, saying he 'wanted to be a martyr for the person who was shot.'
Zinn was released from the hospital and then taken to the Utah County Jail after being ordered by a judge Monday to be held without bail, according to Utah Political Watch.
He faces second-degree felony obstruction of justice as police believe they had to take resources away from finding the real killer to attend to Zinn.
The activist had been charged with trespassing as recently as August 22.

Just the top half
Hey, look, it gets even more disturbing:
...”FBI investigators interviewed him at the hospital, where he admitted he wasn’t the shooter, but he also said he “uses (his) phone to look at child sexual abuse material” after initially refusing to let investigators go through his phone, according to a second jail report completed by the Utah County Sheriff’s Office later on Monday.
Investigators went through the phone and found multiple images containing children believed to be approximately 5 years old, according to the affidavit. The FBI agents alerted deputies, who reviewed the phone and found more than 20 images of child pornography along with explicit messages about sexual acts....”
His pants were down and around his ankles, which I think he did on purpose, before the University Police cuffed him.
Less than an hour later, multiple Hard Left news sources were mocking Kash Patel and Bongino for claiming that a murder suspect had been arrested.
Also, shortly after the fake suspect was marched out of camera range, some middle age spectator was claiming that he knew the suspect, and that there was no way the old guy shot Charlie Kirk.
My first legal instinct now...?
Was this a pre-shooting conspiracy to confuse and occupy local cops AFTER the real shooting?
