Read previewLongtime NRA leader Wayne LaPierre is too ill to commit to all-day testimony in his ongoing corruption trial in New York, his lawyer said in a court document made public Friday. In the new filing, his lawyer asked the trial judge for a "reasonable accommodation" allowing the nonprofit's leader flexibility in testifying. LaPierre suffers from "significant headaches and joint pain" and has a "family history of dementia," along with "overall cognitive changes and deterioration," the doctor wrote. Since early January, LaPierre "has been undergoing intensive treatment involving multiple medications," LaPierre's lawyer, Kent Correll, wrote to the trial judge in the filing, which requests a flexible testimony schedule.
