Tiger King star Joe Exotic likely to have prison sentenced reduced as court vacates original 22-year term

The i says a court has ordered a likely reduction to the prison sentence that Tiger King star Joe Exotic is serving for abusing animals and plotting to murder rescue campaigner Carole Baskin.

The former Oklahoma zoo owner, real name Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage, was sentenced to serve 22 years in prison in 2020 on charges of murder for hire and animal abuse.

However, on Wednesday a three-judge panel for the US Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit in Denver found that his prison term had been wrongly calculated under sentencing guidelines.
