A bizarre and deeply troubling case out of Utah is drawing attention after an older man who falsely confessed to shooting conservative activist Charlie Kirk was sentenced on unrelated charges and now faces up to 15 years in prison.
George Zinn, 71, was initially arrested in September after loudly claiming responsibility for a shooting incident involving Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk during a campus event at Utah Valley University. At the time, video of Zinn being led away in handcuffs about an hour after the incident fueled widespread confusion and led many to believe the shooter had already been caught.
