OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A man has testified that he took $3,000 from a former zookeeper and Oklahoma gubernatorial candidate to kill a woman in Florida and promised he’d “cut her head off.”
The Oklahoman reports that Allen Glover testified Wednesday in the Oklahoma City trial of Joseph Maldonado-Passage, known as “Joe Exotic.” Prosecutors have accused Maldonado-Passage of trying to arrange the killing of Carole Baskin, the founder of an animal sanctuary who criticized Maldonado-Passage’s treatment of animals. Baskin was not harmed.
Glover says he accepted the cash but never intended to go through with the plan. Glover also testified that Maldonado-Passage got the cash by selling a liliger cub, which is a hybrid lion-liger cat that Maldonado-Passage bred at his zoo.
Maldonado-Passage has argued that he was set up.
