I feel like you made valid points until you referenced the movie, "I, Tonya". The movie has no basis in the reality of what really happened. Tonya Harding knew, and pretended to be a victim and let other people take the fall. She knew, and you can portray anything in a movie, because it is made up and Hollywood is in the business of making money, not in getting things absolutely accurate. http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2018/02/i_was_tonya_hardings_prosecuto.html http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2018/02/i_was_t... http://www.oregonlive.com/trending/2018/01/i_nauseated_the_oregonians_for.html http://www.oregonlive.com/trending/2018/01/i_nauseated_the_o... http://www.oregonlive.com/trending/2018/01/thanks_to_i_tonya_tonya_hardin.html http://www.oregonlive.com/trending/2018/01/thanks_to_i_tonya... Now honestly, maybe I'm being manipulated by these people in Oregon who were the ones dealing directly with the issue, but I find it incredibly hard to believe Tonya Harding considering the way she has acted back in the 90s and how she has acted now with this movie coming out. I'm sure her childhood was bad, that sucks. But she conspired to put a hit out on her competition in order to gain an advantage she felt she deserved because of her hardship.

So the first article is from the prosecutor on the case. Prosecutors don’t offer a plea deal for obstruction when they can prove conspiracy to commit aggravated assault. They just don’t. That doesn’t mean she did it didn’t do it. As the movie points shows, she has a version of what happened, which she would’ve presented at trial. And that version might have been plausible enough to establish reasonable doubt. Journalists often get confused and report the defendant’s version of the story as what actually happened, causing folks like HN readers to wonder how the justice system can be so messed up.
