Joseph Allen Maldonado-Passage better known as Joe Exotic has hired a legal team and managers in an attempt to get his 2019 conviction for animal abuse and a murder for hire plot overturned. Exotic is a flamboyant character, who shot to national fame thanks to the Netflix series Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness. The wildly popular series features Exotic's life as a big cat zoo keeper/owner and his battles with rival big cat owner, Carole Baskin.
Exotic's new legal team and mangers includes Lead counselor Francisco Hernandez and private investigator Eric Love. The team include several members according Hernandez. Their goal is to uncover the truth about the murder for hire plot, get Exotic's convictions overturned or get President Trump to pardon Joe Exotic.
The Joe Exotic team has a bus and is heading to DC. They are seeking a pardon from President Trump to overturn this wrongful conviction. The team has also set up a website, Helpfreejoe.com, complete with a petition.
>Here is a video created by the team that offers more details.
Many are wondering if there will be a continuation of the popular Netflix series and according to a recent interview with the producers of the series, Eric Goode and Rebecca Chaiklin, a Season 2 is very likely. Chaiklin said "I mean, yes we have a crazy amount of footage and it’s a story that’s still unfolding. We’re not sure yet, but there could be a follow-up on this story because there’s a lot that’s still unfolding in it, and it’ll be just as dramatic and just as colorful as what has unfolded these past few years"
With the popularity of the series, a season 2 is a safe bet.
