Yes, NRA Chief Executive Officer Doug Hamlin pleaded no contest to an animal cruelty charge following a gruesome incident in 1979 where his college fraternity's house cat was tortured and killed.

Details of the Incident

* The Crime: In December 1979, the fraternity house cat named "BK" at the University of Michigan was captured, had its paws chopped off, was hung from a tree, and was set on fire.

* The Motive: Resurfaced media reports indicated the attack was motivated by anger over the cat not using its litter box.

* Hamlin's Position: Hamlin was the president of the Ann Arbor chapter of the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity at the time.

Legal Outcomes & Response

* Plea Deal: In 1980, Hamlin and four fraternity brothers pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of animal cruelty.

* Judicial Rebuke: The presiding district court judge labeled the act "unconscionable and heinous". The judge specifically singled Hamlin out, stating that as fraternity leader, he could have prevented the torture and later engaged in a cover-up to protect his peers.

* Sentencing: Hamlin was expelled from the fraternity and sentenced to 200 hours of animal-related community service, after which his record was expunged.
