Uma Thurman's Fixated Fan Found Guilty of Stalking

He later visited the movie set in SoHo where she was filming "My Super Ex-Girlfriend" and hand-delivered to her trailer a card that showed a stick figure balanced on a razor blade, over a grave. He sent a postcard of the Empire State Building, the back of which was covered with a swirl of inked-out words. "My hands should be on your body at all times," read one of the few legible lines. He mentioned the names of Thurman's children and claimed that they didn't exist.

By last year, he had moved into his car and parked it near the apartment where Thurman lives with her two children. He rang her doorbell often, he testified last week, and a maid kept telling him that Thurman wasn't home.

"Did you think you would be invited in?" a prosecutor asked Jordan on the stand.

"I thought it was a possibility," he replied.

Thurman never spoke or corresponded directly with Jordan, and a restraining order was imposed only after his arrest in October. During her testimony, Thurman said that she thought ignoring Jordan was the best strategy:

"I was hoping that if I just left him alone, he would just leave me alone. I was afraid of making it worse."

Thurman stuck with the avert-your-gaze approach during her appearance last week in court. She hardly glanced at Jordan while testifying. During breaks, she turned slightly, so that she wouldn't be facing in his direction.

For all the passion of his letters, Jordan was utterly stoical throughout the trial. He wore jeans and a red plaid shirt to court Tuesday and didn't flinch when the verdict was read. He was led away in handcuffs, while a court officer retrieved his knapsack.
