A judge in Washington, D.C., has thrown out a criminal case against a former Olympian accused of damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool — and blocked prosecutors from trying to charge him again.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro had already agreed to drop felony charges against 67-year-old David Hearn after she admitted that the damage was likely caused by “botched” construction. But she wanted to leave open the possibility of prosecuting Hearn again after Donald Trump’s demands.
