- Queens Defenders co-founder sentenced to 43 months
Lori Zeno, co-founder of Queens Defenders, was sentenced to 43 months in prison for stealing over $60,000 from the organization and using her position to secure no-show jobs for her ex-husband Rashad Ruhani’s associates. The scandal led to the collapse of Queens Defenders, resulting in significant financial losses and service gaps for indigent clients.
