Justice in the Reflecting Pool Debacle The recent decision to drop charges against David Hearn, a former Olympian accused of damaging the Lincoln Memorial's reflecting pool, has shed new light on the botched renovation project that sparked the controversy.

Details emerging from documents obtained by the Department of Interior suggest that the damage to the pool liner was not caused by Hearn's alleged actions, but rather by a flawed installation process.
