The split decision from Judge Joel Cohen came on the final day of arguments in the second stage of the civil trial of the NRA.
A New York judge on Monday banned Wayne LaPierre, the former head of the National Rifle Association, from holding a paid position with the organization for a decade, but he declined to appoint an independent monitor to oversee the gun rights group's finances. The split decision from Judge Joel Cohen came on the final day of arguments in the second stage of the civil trial of the NRA brought by New York Atty. Gen. Letitia James.
It's unclear what effect, if any, the 10-year ban on LaPierre serving with the NRA might have. In her closing statements, NRA attorney Sarah Rogers said the group had no plans to rehire LaPierre, even as she described him as a “visionary leader who commanded a lot of respect and deference.” She said the group has implemented strong internal controls that made the appointment of a monitor unnecessary.
