Richard Jewell was an American security guard and law enforcement officer known for his actions during the Centennial Olympic Park bombing at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. He found a backpack with three pipe bombs and successfully evacuated the area before the bomb detonated, saving numerous lives. Initially praised as a hero, he later became a suspect in the FBI’s investigation, facing severe public scrutiny and a media trial. Jewell was ultimately exonerated of any connection to the bombing.
