Attorneys for former Olympian David Hearn are asking the inspectors general for the Department of Justice and the Interior Department to investigate what they view as an unjust prosecution.
Hearn faced a federal charge for allegedly vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool until U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, whose jurisdiction rests in Washington, D.C., filed a motion to dismiss the indictment without prejudice. The case was permanently quashed last week when a D.C. Superior Court judge dismissed the indictment with prejudice, meaning the same charge cannot be refiled.
