DOJ’s Own Witness Upends Reflecting Pool “Vandalism” Case

A Department of Justice witness has undermined the case against former Olympic canoeist David Hearn, who is charged with vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Court documents reveal the witness testified that the pool liner was already damaged before Hearn approached it. Hearn has pleaded not guilty, asserting the pool's condition remained unchanged. His lawyers are now requesting all grand jury testimony, citing irregularities in the proceedings that led to his felony indictment.
