The actual attack was carried out by a man named Shane Stant, who would go on to turn himself in to the FBI less than two weeks later. She later pleaded guilty to hindering the investigation into the attack, which was plotted in part by her now-ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly. He and Harding’s former bodyguard Shawn Eckardt hired Stant and his uncle, Derrick Smith, to break Kerrigan’s leg to keep her from competing in the National Championships and the Winter Olympics.
