Was Tonya Harding innocent? Was she just the victim of a terrible boyfriend and his nutty henchmen, as the movie I, Tonya suggests?
Norm Frink, who prosecuted the case in 1994, begs to differ.
See: ‘I, Tonya’? Well, I prosecuted. And Tonya Harding was guilty as charged »
I wonder why people are so captivated still. Wasn’t this the same year that Nicole Brown Simpson was killed? Weird year, sad examples of how much life is worth to some. I always imagine what it would have been like to be Nancy, all that work and cost for so long and someone injures her. I remember asking my Mom and she said after a while, people turned it around in Nancy Kerrigan and said she was a brat and stuff. I like her though, she seems really nice and has a happy family.
We live in Boston and Nancy Kerrigan shows up in the paper now and then. Yes, sounds like she’s living the family life there. (I wonder if her kids are skaters?)
I was *also* living in Portland when Tonya Harding first became famous, and it’s kind of hard to remember how unusual a figure she was then. Even before the whacking she stood out. Good point about Nicole Brown Simpson, though — had forgotten that.
