"Today, Davey Hearn pled not guilty — because he is not guilty," Norm Eisen, one of his attorneys, said outside DC Superior Court. "If Mr. Hearn can be charged with a felony for touching the reflecting pool, every American is at risk — and every American should be alarmed about this prosecution."

The world would be significantly better if meta ceases to exist
