The judge denied one of the most significant remedies proposed by New York Attorney General Letitia James after a jury found the NRA and its executives liable in a civil corruption trial.

A New York judge on Monday temporarily banned Wayne LaPierre from returning to lead the National Rifle Association but said he would not appoint an independent monitor to oversee the gun rights group.

State Supreme Court Judge Joel Cohen denied one of the most significant remedies proposed by New York Attorney General Letitia James after a jury found the NRA and its executives liable in a civil corruption trial.

In February, jurors determined that LaPierre, 74, had diverted millions of dollars from the NRA to live luxuriously, while the organization failed to properly manage its finances and adopt a whistleblower policy.

Cohen has spent the last two weeks weighing whether to award nonmonetary relief in the second phase of the civil trial.

James sought to permanently bar LaPierre from returning to the lead the NRA or its affiliates. Cohen issued a 10-year ban instead.

The attorney general also wanted the judge to appoint an independent monitor who would oversee the NRA's finances and report to the court for three years, which he did not do.

I applaud any lack of oversight that might result in more money being defrauded from the NRA.

Hopefully that does turn out to be a lifetime ban

What kind of name for a gun nut is Wayne LaPierre?

NBC is left Center? Good Lord the methodology of this thing is insane.

[–] TwentySeven@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

How would you label NBC?

[–] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's a website made and run by Americans, so they're probably rating things based on the American political scale

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Well looks like the scale is broken to me.
