Reflecting Pool damaged before Olympian charged with felony touched it, witness says
David Hearn, an Olympic canoeist, is charged with vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, but his legal team argues the pool was already damaged before he allegedly touched it. A National Park Service witness testified that repairs costing $6,000 to $15,000 were necessary regardless of Hearn's actions, and Hearn's attorneys have requested grand jury materials to challenge the felony charge.
