Field Trips

One thing that was never mentioned in the series and barely mentioned in the after show is the lust this current A list celebrity had for young teens.

He would beg middle schools and high schools to have field trips and would even offer free admission to get them to come. It was all so he could find those very early teen boys.

He would pick out three or four prospects from each trip and within a couple of days, one of them would be visiting the park again and end up being molested by the A lister.

Tiger King

Joseph Maldonado-Passage a.k.a Joe Exotic

Netflix’s Tiger King Wasn’t ‘Even Close to What We Saw,’ Says Juror in Joe Exotic Case

The new Netflix docuseries Tiger King has a lot of fans, but not everyone is giving it high marks. Case in point: one of the jurors who convicted show subject Joseph Maldonado-Passage (a.k.a Joe Exotic) in a murder-for-hire and animal abuse case.

The Joe Exotic trial was alluded to over the course of the series, but was given focus in the seventh episode. Juror Kristin answered viewer questions on the Law&Crime Network Live Q&A. She said that Tiger King didn’t show all of the evidence.

It wasn’t “even close to what we saw in court,” she said. That included a recording in which the defendant complained that the first man he hired to kill rival Carole Baskin ran off with his money, so he wanted to try again.

Part of the show’s legacy (at least in the short term) is some renewed skepticism of Maladonado-Passage’s conviction. Kristin pointedly criticized the show for its depiction of the evidence.

“I think that the docuseries did a big disservice to the way that criminal justice is supposed to be carried out,” she said. “It makes the jury look like we were incompetent and that we convicted him on basically nothing when it wasn’t like that at all. I really wished that they would’ve been more fair with what they showed, but it is what it is, and all we can do is hope people understand that that’s not exactly the way a trial is.”

Her take: Tiger King was more of a “docudrama” than a documentary. If “people could see more, they could understand more” about the case, she said. Kristin said there was nothing in the show that changed her mind on the verdict.

Jurors took about three-and-a-half hours to deliberate, she said. One of the jurors didn’t want to initially convict on two counts related to the illegal sale of tiger cubs but she changed her mind, according to this account. Kristin also recounted a woman questioning why Maldonado-Passage would want to hire Allen Glover, who had a drug and drinking problem. Kristin asserted, however, that that’s exactly who you would hire because that person would do anything for money.

If there’s anything Kristin and some viewers of Tiger King have in common, it’s a lack of sympathy for Maldonado-Passage’s target Baskin.

“She wasn’t a complete victim in the whole thing,” Kristin argued, saying that Baskin antagonized the defendant, even during testimony. – Source
