Uma Thurman Stalker Juror Talks About Verdict
Originally posted 05/07/2008 01:30PM
It took seven hours for the jury in the Uma Thurman stalker trial to reach its decision, a member of the panel said on Wednesday – one day after Jack Jordan was convicted of fourth-degree stalking and second degree aggravated harassment, yet found not guilty of two charges of aggravated harassment.
The issues faced by the 12 jurors – all with highly different backgrounds and opinions – essentially boiled down to whether Jordan, 37, was "a lovestruck fan with an odd sense of humor and no sense of boundaries" (as his legal reps argued), or was he "a threat who should face jail time?" writes Wall Street Journal reporter and juror Emily Steel in her newspaper.
