Still, nowhere in the 17 1/2 hours of testimony provided for investigators by Gillooly on Jan. 26 and 27 and released last week by Oregon's Multnomah County circuit court did he give evidence that independently corroborated his charge that Harding gave the go-ahead for the assault on Kerrigan. Despite Gillooly's guilty plea to one count of racketeering in exchange for a recommended two-year prison sentence and a $100,000 fine, his statements alone offered no firm basis to indict Harding in the pre-assault conspiracy...
...before Gillooly began testifying, a part-time sports journalist, Vera Marano of Pennsylvania, was questioned by investigators. Marano, who says she has been friends with Harding since 1990, testified that she had received several calls from Harding around Christmastime. Harding, she said, asked for two pieces of information about Kerrigan: Where did she train? And did she own property on Cape Cod? Harding explained that she was interested because of a "bet" she had made. Marano said that after tracking down the name of Kerrigan's training facility, she left the information on Harding's answering machine. The next...
Gillooly has charged that Harding obtained the name of Kerrigan's Cape Cod training rink, the place where hitman Shane Stant said he stalked Kerrigan before pursuing her to Detroit. Gillooly testified that Harding, after listening to a message from Marano, told him the name of Kerrigan's rink sounded something like "Toby Can." Later, Gillooly claimed, he heard Harding tell Marano by phone, "Spell it out," and watched her write "Tony Kent Arena" on a piece of paper...
...agents received more potentially damaging evidence, retrieved by Kathy Peterson on Jan. 30 from a Dumpster outside her Portland restaurant. Peterson says the items she turned over included one handwritten note with the phone number and address of the Tony Kent Arena and the numbers "12-4," which mirror Kerrigan's practice hours; another note bearing the notations "tunee can arena" and "tony kent arena"; and an envelope addressed to Gillooly. The FBI reportedly began tests to determine if the scratchings matched Harding's handwriting...
...little more than bad judgment on Harding's part. Others involved in the case have behaved just as poorly. Last Tuesday, Gillooly's attorney Ronald Hoevet publicly elaborated on his client's guilty plea. Hoevet charged Harding with obtaining both the name of the Tony Kent Arena and Kerrigan's hotel-room number in Detroit and of participating in a Jan. 10 meeting between Gillooly and Eckardt at which an alibi was concocted. He said he had "no doubt" about Harding's guilt and suggested that it would be "unconscionable" for Harding to skate at the Olympics. The next...
