Did Hearn Damage the Pool or Not | Lincoln News

Former Olympic canoeist David Hearn faces federal charges for allegedly damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, but his defense is firing back with explosive new evidence: the pool was already in bad shape before he arrived, and the only witness the government relied on admitted the damage was pre-existing. Hearn’s lawyers are demanding the grand jury records be unsealed, arguing the government didn’t show a key photo Hearn took before touching the pool—and that the witness’s testimony was shaky, unsworn, and delivered via an investigator. The case hinges on whether Hearn’s actions caused the damage—or if the pool was doomed to fail regardless. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
