A former Olympian charged with deliberately damaging the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is asking for access to the full record of the grand jury proceedings that led to his indictment. David Hearn’s attorneys say there are “irregularities” in the grand jury process and have requested a court order directing the government to produce a complete transcript of all testimony and related proceedings heard in closed session. The reports describe the request as aimed at allowing the defence to review what transpired during the grand jury process. The case centers on allegations that Hearn intentionally damaged the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial, which is part of the national memorial area. Coverage across outlets characterizes the matter as a dispute over procedural access to grand jury materials rather than a change to the underlying charge. The government’s response to the request is not detailed in the provided summaries, and no information is included about whether a judge has ruled on the transcript request or the specific nature of the alleged irregularities beyond the defence’s claim.
