"NRA and Wayne LaPierre Found Liable for Misusing Funds in Civil Corruption Trial"
A civil corruption trial in New York City found the National Rifle Association and its former CEO, Wayne LaPierre, liable for diverting millions of dollars for personal use, with the jury ruling in favor of New York Attorney General Letitia James. The NRA failed to properly manage its finances, and LaPierre, along with other executives, violated their duties. The jury recommended monetary damages, and the judge will have the final say on remedies, including potential bans on serving on charity boards and oversight of the NRA's finances. Despite the verdict, none of the defendants have been criminally charged, and the NRA's influence and membership have declined in recent years.
