On March 21, 1994, a Portland grand jury issued an indictment stating there was evidence Harding participated in the attack plot.
The indictment concluded more than two months of investigation and witness testimonies from Diane Rawlinson; Harding's choreographer Erika Bakacs; freelance figure skating writer Vera Marano; and Eckardt's college instructor and classmates.
It stated there was evidence Harding fraudulently used USFSA-provided skating monies to finance the assault.
It also read that Harding, Gillooly, Eckardt, Smith, and Stant agreed to "knowingly cause physical injury...by means of a dangerous weapon."
The grand jury foreman said the evidence implied Harding as "involved from the beginning or very close."
She was not charged in the indictment due to the terms of her March 16 plea agreement.
