New York State Rests Its Corruption Case Against NRA

Courthouse News reports:

State lawyers for the New York Attorney General’s Office rested their corruption case against the National Rifle Association and its longtime frontman Wayne LaPierre.

State lawyer Monica Connell — who delivered opening statements for the attorney general’s office four weeks ago — rested after bringing on the plaintiff’s final witness Monday, Eric Hines, their first and only expert, who is a forensic accountant at the management consulting group StoneTurn.

LaPierre could owe the NRA millions for those mistakes, should the Manhattan jury rule against him. The six-week trial entered its penultimate week on Monday; closing arguments are slated for Feb. 15.
