A federal court decision just broke in favor of Joseph Maldonado-Passage, a.k.a. Joe Exotic: His 22-year sentence has been vacated and will be reconsidered. His conviction on charges of murder-for-hire and wildlife crime? That will stand.
“We affirm Maldonado-Passage’s conviction but vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing,” the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals said Wednesday in a decision that pleased the former tiger owner’s attorney, as it will likely mean a shorter federal prison term.
Maldonado-Passage, who gained early-pandemic fame via the Netflix docuseries “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness,” was convicted on two counts of murder-for-hire against tiger rival Carole Baskin, which is where the sentencing issue arose.
