Olympian Exonerated After Pool Liner Fiasco | Toronto News

Former Olympian David Hearn, accused of felony vandalism for allegedly ripping up the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s new “American flag blue” liner, has had all charges dropped after prosecutors admitted the evidence didn’t support the indictment. The case, initially framed as a politically charged rush to judgment amid President Trump’s beautification push, unraveled when it emerged the liner’s damage was due to a botched installation—not Hearn’s actions. His legal team called it a politically motivated prosecution, and now they’re demanding an apology from the government.
