Zookeeper 'Joe Exotic' Sentenced in Murder-for-Hire Plot
A former Oklahoma zookeeper found guilty in a murder-for-hire plot to kill a rival animal-rights activist was sentenced Wednesday to serve 22 years in prison for that and other crimes, which included killing tigers to make room for more big cats at his exotic animal park.
Maldonado-Passage eventually gave a man $3,000 to travel from Oklahoma to South Carolina and on to Florida to kill Baskin, “with a promise to pay thousands more after the deed,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
