Federal prosecutors are looking
to DISMISS a felony vandalism charge against former U.S. Olympian David Hearn after he was accused of damaging the reflecting pools in Washington, D.C.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro stated that the Department of the Interior had provided only โbarebonesโ reports at the outset and withheld records detailing significant problems with the coatingโs installation.โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
"Had DOI been forthcoming with the information clearly in its possession, the government would not have sought a grand jury indictment," according to the DOJ.
After the indictment, the DOI provided new documents that the damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was the result of flawed installation by the contractor.
This would have created reasonable doubt.
According to U.S. Park Police, on June 19 he grabbed and pulled at a loose section of the poolโs coating and continued even after a National Park Service employee instructed him to stop.
They claimed the damages he allegedly caused exceeded $1,000.
