Joe Exotic in Lockdown Again for Social Media Posts
22 Apr
Summary
- Joe Exotic placed in isolation over social media posts.
- His attorney claims his conviction is based on lies.
- The legal team remains optimistic about a presidential pardon.
Joe Exotic, known from 'Tiger King,' is currently in lockdown within a special housing unit at his Texas federal prison. This measure was reportedly implemented last week following social media posts shared online under his name. His attorney, Peter Ticktin, indicated that the prison officials disapproved of these posts.
Exotic's legal team is actively working on his behalf, with Ticktin reiterating claims that the conviction is baseless and alleging perjury by a key witness. While advocating for Exotic's release, the team is also pursuing a presidential pardon, submitting all necessary paperwork and awaiting a decision.
The duration of Exotic's isolation is uncertain, with hopes for release within 15 days, though no guarantees exist. Communication with Exotic has been limited since his move to the special housing unit.
