Tiger King star Joe Exotic has been resentenced to 21 years in prison for his part in a plot to murder rival Carole Baskin.
The 58-year-old was sentenced to 22 years in jail in 2019 but last year that conviction was thrown out by an appeals court, who determined that the length of his sentence had been incorrectly calculated.
The news gave hope to Exotic that he could be freed - but in a ruling on Friday, he had just one year taken off the sentence - meaning that he could be behind bars until 2040.
Baskin herself had appeared at the hearing, telling the judge: "He continues to harbour intense feelings of ill will toward me."
Exotic is currently receiving treatment for cancer, which he has claimed is at an "advanced" stage.
