'Their Witnesses Were Lying': Joe Exotic Accuses Federal Authorities of Conspiracy to Commit Perjury
Attorneys for imprisoned big cat trader and Netflix’s Tiger King star Joseph Maldoado-Passage, better known as “Joe Exotic,” recently filed a series of documents and motions in a bid for a new trial.
Earlier this month, Exotic’s legal team filed a 67-page motion for a new trial at the district court level. Late Tuesday, an 82-page legal brief was filed seeking redress from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
Voluminous exhibits, well over 100, have also been filed in both federal court dockets. Exotic’s attorney John Phillips, in a statement, said those exhibits contain “evidence of collusion and fraud.”
In 2019, Exotic was convicted of multiple federal crimes including nine counts of violating the Endangered Species Act, eight counts of falsifying wildlife records, and two counts for attempting to hire a hitman to murder his arch-rival, Carole Baskin.
