Accused Uma Thurman Stalker Rejects Plea Deal
NEW YORK (AP) ―
A former mental patient has rejected a plea offer that would have put him in a psychiatric facility and settled charges that he stalked the actress Uma Thurman for nearly two years.
Jack Jordan refused to plead guilty on Wednesday to attempted coercion, a felony the court would have reduced to a misdemeanor once he completed at least a year in a mental health program.
Jordan, who is free on $10,000 bail, is accused of following and contacting the "Pulp Fiction" and "Kill Bill" star since 2005.
The coercion charge stems from his saying in an e-mail that he might kill himself if he saw her with another man.
Jordan, a graduate student at Mills College in Oakland, Calif., currently lives in Massachusetts with his parents.
