NEW YORK — A former mental patient obsessed with Uma Thurman faces up to a year in jail after a jury convicted him Tuesday of stalking and harassing the actress with a barrage of frightening advances.
State Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro ordered a psychiatric exam for Jack Jordan, a 37-year-old out-of-work lifeguard and pool cleaner. “I’ve learned some disturbing things about this defendant during this case,” Carro said.
A Thurman spokesman said the actress, 38, had no comment on the verdict, which came after a week-long trial that featured riveting testimony from Thurman, who told the jury she was “completely freaked out” by Jordan’s behavior. Prosecutors say Jordan had stalked the “Kill Bill” and “Pulp Fiction” star since 2005, when an intense crush made him decide the two just had to be together. At one point, he sent a note that said, “My hands should be on your body at all times.” The Associated Press
