The New York lawsuit accuses NRA leaders of misusing millions of dollars of the nonprofit's funds for personal benefits. Lawyers for New York State wrapped up their case, marking the end of a contentious period of testimony. Deliberations began with objections from LaPierre and Woody Phillips' lawyers regarding the use of certain slides in closing arguments.
