Jury Finds LaPierre Liable for Mismanaging NRA's Funds

NRA current secretary and general counsel John Frazer was not held liable

Former longtime National Rifle Association (NRA) chief Wayne LaPierre mismanaged the gun rights group and cost it millions of dollars through wasteful spending to support a lavish lifestyle, a jury found on Friday, recommending that he repay $4.35 million.

In a civil corruption case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, the six-person jury in Manhattan also recommended that former NRA treasurer and chief financial officer Wilson Phillips repay the group $2 million for his own mismanagement.

Another defendant, NRA current secretary and general counsel John Frazer, did not harm the group financially, the jury found.
