Jeanine Pirro seeks to drop charges against Olympian David Hearn, admits reflecting pool damage was ‘flawed installation’

DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro is moving to dismiss charges against former Olympic canoeist David Hearn for allegedly vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, revealing in a Friday court filing that the damage was, in fact, “the result of flawed installation by the contractor.

Pirro’s office submitted the motion to dismiss after Hearn had pleaded not guilty earlier this month to one felony count of destruction of property for the alleged June 19 incident.

He may have damaged what was already damaged?
Proving what damage was his in order to get a conviction is not possible?
Judge Jeanine would not drop the case if she had enough evidence to convince a jury.

Why am I not surprised that you are defending a violent, Anti-American, Demonrat insurrectionist?

The DOJ is the stupidest department ever. No matter who’s in charge they can’t seem to keep a case going to save their life.

You are deranged and have no idea what you’re talking about. Please explain to me how a guy riding past the reflecting pool on a bicycle could possibly do damage to it. If the reflecting pool is that fragile, something is seriously wrong.

And yet when Democrats prosecute they never give up, no matter how bad or even fake the evidence is…

Both Bad adhesion and vandalism by crazy TDS folks.
I do believe the President was scammed though.
He’ll never admit it.

Whoever told your opinion is important was being sarcastic.

You sure like to call for 8647 a lot

USDA is Dept of Agriculture. USDA

Even if they took this guy to trial, the judges in DC would let him off.

Probably why she dropped it.

Nobody owes him an apology. It was asinine of him to be messing with the lining in the reflecting pool no matter what condition it was in.

He is lucky they are dropping it.

“And yet when Democrats prosecute they never give up, no matter how bad or even fake the evidence is…”

So what’s the lesson here, persecute this random guy with fake evidence for the “win”?

How about ignore the reflecting pool, and go prosecute some Antifa terrorists or other actual criminals, with good and real evidence?

I'll give Pirro points for admitting a wrong as opposed to the Dems who NEVER admitted a wrong indictment on J6. Or any other indictment as far as I can recall.

Stick with the misdemeanor, just futz with the guy to put him back into The Process (re: HST).

Now that bike-bendover queetbait has had his prolapsed marxism forced into the (gaping) open once and for all, serious shot he would recidivize while pimping for 'progressive' 3-speed, banana-seat Huffy DSA candidates this fall. FFS he already has pr representation.

Also, fire Pirro. Grandstanding, self-seeking biotch.

I think the pond should be filled with concrete and some gallows should be erected.
In the meantime we fight over who hangs.

The question is....Who does the kid know??

There was a witness at one time that said he was pulling at it...Wonder how much they paid her?

There was something about almost a hundred fence posts that were thrown in the water.

People on this site and the Trump administration owe an apology to David Hearn.

He won't get one, and he doesn't deserve one. I don't think the President is done with this parasite.
