In March 2020, just as the pandemic was shutting down the world, Netflix viewers were captivated by the incredible rise and fall of Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known as “Joe Exotic.” If you watched Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness and found yourself wondering if the allegations and charges brought against Maldonado-Passage fit the evidence presented at trial, you are not alone.

Lead by Jim Rathmann, a former Secret Service agent and lead investigator for Investigation Discovery’s limited series, Joe Exotic: Tigers, Lies and Cover-up, attendees will participate in a deep exploration of the actual trial transcripts and will go through the scientific evidence and data presented to the jury.

According to Rathmann, there were significant gaps, inconsistencies, and contradictions present throughout the duration of Maldonado-Passage’s trial. Was Joe Exotic rightfully convicted…or was he wrongfully conspired against?

Come with an open mind and you just might be surprised by what you discover.
