...date is Dec. 28. Jeff Gillooly has just been dropped off by his ex-wife, Tonya Harding, at the home of Harding's bodyguard, Shawn Eckardt. Inside, Gillooly, Eckardt and two out-of-town thugs for hire discuss ways to keep Nancy Kerrigan from competing Jan. 7 and 8 in the U.S. figure-skating championships in Detroit. Methodically the four men run down their options: cut Kerrigan's Achilles tendon, break her leg or kneecap, kill her. According to Gillooly, he then calls Harding and asks her to pick him up. As Gillooly drives, he details a proposed...
...which means the U.S. Olympic Committee will have to make a final decision by Feb. 21, two days before the women's competition begins. Meanwhile, prosecutors declined to confirm reports that Harding will be charged this week with "hindering prosecution" by lying about when she first learned of the Kerrigan plot...
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.

...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...
