Joe Exotic pissed that Trump pardoned the Chrisleys, not him

“Tiger King” star Joe Exotic is peeved that President Trump pardoned his fellow reality stars Todd and Julie Chrisley while he remains behind bars.

The 62-year-old Netflix star tweeted a screengrab of People’s article on Tuesday, detailing the president’s move and seeking his own pardon.

“I guess being innocent is not enough in America. They all admitted to perjury on world television,” said Exotic, who added that he’s “left to die of cancer” as his appeal goes unanswered.

Exotic, who revealed in 2021 that he’s battling prostate cancer, is serving a 21-year sentence at FMC Fort Worth for multiple charges.

In early 2022, he was resentenced for animal cruelty charges and attempts to hire hitmen to murder big cat activist Carole Baskin, who also starred in the 2020 Netflix sensation.

The “Chrisley Knows Best” stars were meanwhile convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion in 2022. A Trump administration official confirmed their pending pardon on Tuesday.

Exotic subsequently called on Trump to “please restore freedom for Joe Exotic so he can go back to doing good in the world.”

“Joe Exotic did not hurt anyone. … Joe Exotic had no plans to hurt anyone. Joe Exotic has suffered seven years behind bars being isolated, abused, and treated in ways no American should ever endure,” he tweeted. “Joe Exotic has no prior criminal record and is not a danger to society.”

Marathon hearings conclude in state case against Luigi Mangione for UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

Marathon proceedings in Luigi Mangione’s state homicide case came to a close Thursday, as Manhattan prosecutors and lawyers for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson rested without calling any more witnesses. The parties won’t learn for some time which positions prevailed, with state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro asking each side to submit final written arguments and indicating he would rule on Mangione’s motions to suppress evidence central to the prosecution’s case by May 18. The hearings included 17 witnesses and centered on evidence recovered and statements Mangione made to Pennsylvania law enforcement surrounding his arrest five days after Thompson’s killing. Mangione was nabbed at a McDonald’s in the city of Altoona, more than 200 miles from the Hilton hotel in Midtown, outside which the CEO was shot dead Dec. 4, 2024. Notes allegedly found by police in Luigi Mangione's backpack after he was detained at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvani...

Britain is lowering the voting age to 16. It’s getting a mixed reaction

By JILL LAWLESS LONDON (AP) — There has been a mixed reaction in Britain to the government’s announcement that it will lower the voting age from 18 to 16 before the next national election . The Labour Party administration says it’s part of a package of changes to strengthen British democracy and help restore trust in politics. The opposition says it’s a power-grab by the left. Experts say it’s complicated, with mixed evidence about how lowering the voting age affects democracy and election outcomes. The biggest change since the 1960s Britain’s voting age last fell in 1969, when the U.K. became one of the first major democracies to lower it from 21 to 18. Many other countries, including the United States, followed suit within a few years. Now the government says it will lower the threshold to 16 by the time the next general election is held, likely in 2029. That will bring the whole country into line with Scotland and Wales, which have semiautonomous governments and already let 1...
