Episode Details

Former Olympian David Hearn is pushing to permanently shut down a criminal case against him over the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool incident, arguing the government’s initial charges were rushed and politically motivated. His legal team filed a motion for dismissal with prejudice — meaning no future prosecution — after the Justice Department itself dropped the case, citing accidental damage from a faulty contractor installation. While the U.S. Attorney’s office filed its own dismissal (without prejudice), Hearn’s lawyers want that door sealed forever, stressing the public scrutiny and unfairness of leaving the case open for potential retribution.
