Olympian Scapegoated Over Pool Damage | Roanoke News
Description
A former Olympian, 67, faces up to 10 years in prison for allegedly damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool—though his defense claims it was already in ruins and he was just checking peeling paint. His legal team is demanding access to sealed grand jury testimony, arguing the prosecution’s case is built on shaky evidence and political distraction, with even Trump calling the act “sick.” The pool’s recent renovation and prior leaks are central to the defense’s claim that Hearn is being scapegoated. Trial is set for September 28.
