Jeanine Pirro Announces Felony Charges Against Ex-Olympian Charged with Damaging the Reflecting Pool

EXCERPT:

PIRRO: “So, today, a grand jury has returned a felony indictment against a defendant, David Hearn, for felony destruction of property, for which he faces 10 years in prison. The indictment is in response to an incident that occurred on June 19th of 2026 in which the defendant Hearn ripped a piece of recently installed sealant on the bottom of the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial. The evidence shows, and we will prove beyond a reasonable doubt, that Hearn willfully destroyed property at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. This was a deliberate act to damage the Reflecting Pool at the National Mall, that members of the National Park Service actually have worked hard to restore and have witnessed. By Hearn’s own admission, on June 19th, he reached down into the Pool. Our evidence further shows that the National Park Service employees observed Hearn actually forcefully and violently pulling up and removing the bottom liner with both hands.”
