Witness reports damage to Reflecting Pool before Olympian's entry
A court hearing revealed that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was already damaged before former Olympic canoeist David Hearn allegedly entered it. Testimony from a National Park Service official indicated the pool had pre-existing issues, including leaks and structural damage, that would have required repairs regardless of Hearn's actions. This has led his attorneys to challenge whether prosecutors can prove he caused more than $1,000 in damage, a requirement for a felony charge, as they argue there is insufficient evidence linking his conduct to the damage.
