A federal judge resentenced "Tiger King" Joe Exotic, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, to 21 years in prison for a murder-for-hire charge. His sentence was originally 22 years, but was reduced due to a federal appeals court ruling that the prison term should be shortened. Joe Exotic, known for his eccentric personality and his role in the Netflix documentary "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness," had been convicted of trying to hire two different men to kill Carole Baskin, his rival and the subject of much controversy in the documentary. The resentencing hearing included Joe Exotic's plea for leniency due to a recent diagnosis of early-stage prostate cancer, as well as Carole Baskin's concerns about the continued threat she faces from Joe Exotic despite his incarceration. Joe Exotic's attorneys plan to appeal the resentencing and petition for a new trial.
