Lawyers in Reflecting Pool case say Justice Department knew case was flawed
Lawyers for David Hearn, a former Olympian charged with damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, claim the Justice Department knew or should have known the case was flawed. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro dismissed charges against Hearn after new evidence showed the damage stemmed from a contractor's faulty work, not his actions, linking it to a rushed project for the America 250 celebration.
