Olympic canoeist David 'Davey' Hearn's legal team has filed a motion alleging that the Department of Justice presented misleading information to the grand jury in the case concerning damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Hearn, who maintains his innocence, argues that a key witness stated the pool area was already deteriorating and needed repair regardless of his involvement. The defense claims the government's portrayal of events is inaccurate and suggests an unfair targeting of Hearn.
