Prosecutors are moving to dismiss the Reflecting Pool vandalism case against David Hearn, saying a botched installation—not Hearn—is to blame for sealant damage after a fourteen-million-dollar renovation, per NPR. Hearn was accused of ripping the sealant; he has said he simply touched the pool water out of curiosity last month.
