Government Witness: Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Was Already Damaged Before Hearn's Alleged Actions

A July 27 court filing revealed that a National Park Service official testified the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool was already leaking over one million gallons weekly and had a preexisting rip before Davey Hearn allegedly touched it. The witness could not quantify any damage attributable to Hearn, and said the same repairs would have been required regardless of his conduct.
