美国奥运皮划艇选手戴维·赫恩对其被控损坏华盛顿纪念碑基座倒影池的指控拒不认罪。
这位曾参加1992年、1996年和2000年奥运会的67岁运动员于7月2日被起诉，此前他被指控于6月19日从倒影池底部撕下了一部分密封胶。如果被判有罪，他最高将面临10年监禁。
赫恩表示，他当时正在进行64英里的骑行，顺路来到倒影池，伸手探入池内后被逮捕。他称自己只是对该材料感兴趣，只是短暂触碰了一下。
赫恩的律师团队包括华盛顿诉讼集团的高级顾问玛丽·多尔曼，以及民主捍卫者基金联合创始人兼执行主席诺曼·艾森。他们申请召开身份听证会并确定审判日期，并主张在此期间“无条件释放”赫恩。
身份听证会已定于8月5日举行。
检方申请下达“禁止接触、远离现场”的禁令，遭到多尔曼的反对。
多尔曼辩称，赫恩是“正直守法的公民”，“不需要任何形式的监管”。她还补充说，施加任何限制都将是“浪费司法资源”。
法官最终同意对赫恩予以具结释放。
赫恩的律师在上周赫恩被起诉后的一份声明中表示，这起案件“反映出本届政府试图为自身的失误推卸责任”。

Olympian David Hearn pleads not guilty to charges of damaging Reflecting Pool

U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn pleaded not guilty to charges of damaging the Reflecting Pool at the base of the Washington Monument.
The 67-year-old, who competed in the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Olympics, was indicted July 2, after he was accused of ripping out a portion of the sealant from the bottom of the Reflecting Pool on June 19. He faces up to 10 years in prison, if convicted.
Hearn said he stopped by the pool during a 64-mile bike ride and was arrested after reaching down into the pool. He has said he was just interested in the material and briefly touched it.
Hearn’s attorneys, Mary Dohrmann, senior counsel at Washington Litigation Group, and Norm Eisen, co-founder and executive chair of Democracy Defenders Fund, requested a status hearing and trial date and advocated for “release with no restriction” in the meantime.
A status hearing has been set for Aug. 5.
The government asked for a “stay away, no contact order,” which Dohrmann opposed.
Hearn is “an upstanding citizen” and “does not need supervision of any kind,” Dohrmann argued. She added it would be “a waste of court resources to impose any restrictions.”
The judge agreed to release Hearn on his own recognizance.
The case “reflects the administration’s effort to shift blame for their own failures,” his lawyers said in a statement after Hearn’s indictment last week.
