A judge has permanently dismissed charges against a former Olympian stemming from a vandalism case at a reflecting pool. The ruling ends the legal proceedings outright rather than dropping them temporarily. The case had drawn attention because of the defendant's Olympic background and the unusual target of the alleged vandalism. Reaction has focused on how the charges were resolved in court.

Why now: A former Olympian's criminal case being permanently dismissed is new and unexpected legal news.
