NRA and Wayne LaPierre Face Jury Deliberation in Corruption Trial

The trial examines allegations of fund misuse for personal gain by top executives, with potential repercussions for the organization's future.

Jury deliberations begin in the civil corruption trial against the NRA and its former CEO, Wayne LaPierre, focusing on misuse of funds for personal luxuries.
The trial, initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia James, accuses LaPierre and other executives of diverting millions from the NRA's charitable mission.
LaPierre, who resigned citing health issues, defended his actions as necessary for the NRA's outreach and safety, despite admitting to some wrongful expenses.
The lawsuit seeks to have the defendants repay the NRA and potentially face bans from serving on charity boards in New York.
The outcome could significantly impact the NRA, which has seen declining membership and influence in recent years.
