Tiger King's Joe Exotic jailed for 21 years after resentencing

Tiger King star Joe Exotic has been jailed for 21 years after being resentenced for his part in a murder-for-hire plot.

Former Oklahoma zookeeper Exotic — whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage — was resentenced after a federal appeal court ruled that he should get a shorter prison sentence.

He was originally sentenced in January 2020 to 22 years in federal prison after being convicted of trying to hire two different men to kill Florida animal rights activist Carole Baskin.
