U.S. District Court vacates sentence for Tiger King Joe Exotic, orders resentencing
The U.S. 10th District Court has ordered Joseph Maldonado-Passage, aka Joe Exotic, be resentenced following his conviction in the murder-for-hire plot of Big Cat Rescues Carole Baskin.
According to court documents, the judge affirmed Maldonado-Passages conviction but has decided to vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing.
In 2018, Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known as Joe Exotic and former owner of the Greater Wynnewood Animal Park, was indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts of murder-for-hire.
Prosecutors say Maldonado-Passage gave a person $3,000 to travel from Oklahoma to Florida to carry out the murder of big cat activist Carole Baskin and allegedly agreed to pay thousands more after the deed, said the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Western District of Oklahoma.

My question is why is he getting a do over? Because a Judge didnt group charges?
If he is guilty then let him stay in prison.

Do you want to help him exploit the publicity of his heinous act?
