WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department moved Friday to dismiss a criminal case charging a former Olympian with deliberately damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, saying evidence prosecutors had recently received refuted the idea that vandals were to blame. Hearn's lawyers said in a statement that the case against him should never have been brought. "The witness's testimony established that the pool had substantial preexisting damage requiring repair before any alleged conduct by Mr. Hearn," his lawyers wrote. In court papers Friday, prosecutors said they had only recently received new information that undermined the basis for the prosecution. Prosecutors could "only rely," they wrote, on the initial information suggesting that the damage was caused by vandals.
