Witness Admissions of Fabricating Information and Perjury
Several key witnesses in the case of Joe Exotic have come forward and made statements and affidavits admitting to manufacturing evidence and providing false testimony. Their signed confessions have been provided to the United States appellate courts.
• Allen Glover confessed in an affidavit that he committed perjury during his grand jury and trial testimony regarding his involvement as the hitman. Glover stated he never intended to kill Carole Baskin or engaged in an overt act to kill her. He claims the statements he made to agents were made at the direction of Jeff Lowe in order to indict Maldonado-Passage. Glover also claimed he stole $3,000 from Maldonado-Passage and left the park for personal reasons, not to travel to Florida to kill Baskin, despite testifying that the $3,000 came from a cub sale.
• Jeff Lowe admitted to Agent Bryant via text that he faked text messages that appeared to be from Allen Glover in order to manipulate Maldonado into making admissions. Lowe also acknowledged to the investigator that statements he made about Glover being paid $3,000 to kill Baskin were not true. Lowe later admitted that he was the one who provided a picture of Allen Glover and identified Robert Engesser as the cub purchaser on a specific date, despite having no personal knowledge of Engesser being present. A post-trial text from Lowe also included the admission: "I have been setting his ass up for almost a year".
• James Garretson stated that he was constantly instructed by agents to ask specific questions and not to use collective words like "us" or "we," so that criminal ideas would appear to originate solely from Maldonado-Passage. Garretson also used threats to coerce Allen Glover into testifying in a way that matched Agent Bryant's theory of the alleged crime.
