The ruling doesn’t mean that the “Tiger King,” whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, will become a free man, however.

A federal appeals court has thrown out a 22-year prison sentence for “Tiger King” Joe Exotic in his 2019 murder-for-hire conviction in an alleged plot to kill rival big cat activist, Carole Baskin.

The ruling determined that Maldonado-Passage’s original sentence was incorrect because it didn’t properly group the two separate murder-for-hire charges for which he was convicted and treated them separately. He had been given nine years for each charge, plus four years for other wildlife violations.

In 2018, Maldonado-Passage was indicted for allegedly trying to hire a hitman to kill Baskin, who also ran a tiger rescue park in Florida and had been a vocal critic of his for how he treated animals. The two had previously engaged in legal battles over trademarks.
