Olympian Exonerated in Reflecting Pool Case | Washington DC News

The Justice Department drops charges against former Olympian David Hearn, who was accused of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool — but new evidence suggests it was more a contractor’s botched job than intentional vandalism. Facing up to 10 years in prison, Hearn claims he was just biking and told to stop by a park worker. His legal team calls the prosecution politically motivated and a waste of time, demanding an apology. With trial postponed, the case is officially closed.
