Alleged Charlie Kirk Assassin in Custody After Confessing to His Father

What was this confession about, if confirmed? I am not sure I am buying it yet.

Are the claims about the confession by the father true?

Did the father or his son do this so the defense attorneys can plead leniency in court to avoid capital punishment?
