Tiger King’s Joe Exotic Has Demanded That “Homophobic and Prejudice” Judge Be Removed From His Case

Tiger King’s Joe Exotic has requested a new judge to take over his civil rights case, alleging that the current judge is “homophobic and prejudice” with a “conflict of interest” against him.

As ‘Metro’ reports, Exotic is currently in prison for 22 years after being convicted of attempting to hire a hitman to kill animal activist Carole Baskin of Big Cat Rescue. He also has numerous animal cruelty charges.

Now, Exotic has filed a motion with the District Court of Oklahoma asking Judge Scott Palk to withdraw from the case, where exotic is asking for a £77.1 million settlement.

The motion reads: “The Plaintiff argues that not only does Judge Scott Palk have a conflict of interest in all of these cases but has a borderline conflict of being an animals rights advocate, and homophobic due to the hostile and agitated remarks made in open court toward the Plaintiff during sentencing of the criminal case, of which he should have recused himself from the beginning of the criminal case.

“Remarks made like “I will make sure you are never around another animal the rest of your life” – The plaintiff has never been accused of animal abuse in his life to deserve such a statement.”

The statement continues on claiming that Palk was speaking in a “hostile voice” and defended the potential selling of lion cubs “which he didn’t do, but even if he did, is legal in the state of Texas”.

“So all of this was un-called for remarks due to Judge Scott Palk’s prejudice because of being involved in all the civil cases,” it continued. “So the Plaintiff is asking for the motion to have Judge Scott Palk recuse himself and a non bias Judge to be appointed this case.”
