1996. Tonya Harding, did she pay a high enough price? Audience responds

July 15th, 1996. Geraldo Rivera's namesake talk show hosts Tonya Harding as controversy continues following the brutal attack on Nancy Kerrigan. "If somebody goes out and does something that's bad, how long are they gonna have to pay the price? ... if somebody threatened your life and you didn't know what to do, what would you do?" The star figure skater, recently banned for life from the United States Figure Skating Association, starts with reaction to the men who served 14 months in prison for assaulting one of her competitors. Her publicist David Hans Schmidt is in the audience, and he says the biggest benefactor from all this is the United States Figure Skating Association. The conversation continues to audience questions. Most seem to feel as an athlete and role model, Tonya should pay whatever price for her role in covering up the assault on Nancy. Ms. Harding says people should be allowed to make mistakes, and if the ban stays or doesn't stay, she'll have success. A range of questions are asked including about if she learned anything from her failed marriages. Tonya Harding pled guilty to conspiracy to hinder prosecution in 1994, related to the physical assault of Nancy Kerrigan. She had trained from age three, winning many awards, but never returned to professional skating following the incident. This day, Geraldo's television history.
