Jury in New York City convicts fan of stalking Uma Thurman
A lovesick former mental patient was convicted Tuesday of stalking and harassing Uma Thurman for more than two years, showing up on her front doorstep and movie set and sending the actress a series of creepy love letters.
Jack Jordan, a 37-year-old out-of-work lifeguard and pool cleaner, faces up to a year in jail. He was convicted of stalking and one count of aggravated harassment, and acquitted of two other harassment counts.
Jordan, who looked calm, was led from the courtroom in handcuffs. The judge ordered a psychiatric exam before his next court date on June 2.
“I’ve learned some disturbing things about this defendant during this case. I am going to remand him for a psychiatric exam,” said state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro, who also presided in May 2002 when an accused stalker from Germany pleaded guilty to aggravated harassment of actor Richard Gere.
