Olympian Exonerated After Pool Repair Blame Shift | Lawrence News
Description
Former Olympian David Hearn is set to walk free as U.S. prosecutors drop charges of vandalism against him — the damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool wasn’t sabotage, but a botched contractor job. New evidence reveals Atlantic Industrial Coatings rushed the renovation amid weather delays and material shortages, causing widespread peeling that inspectors confirmed was their fault. Prosecutors, who initially indicted Hearn without this info, now admit they should’ve never pursued the case — and Hearn’s lawyers are demanding an apology for the messy legal misstep.
