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.

Britney Spears & Kevin Federline's Hearing Begins
Originally posted 05/06/2008 06:15AM
Britney Spears was seen looking distraught during a break in the Los Angeles family court hearing with Kevin Federline on Tuesday – though later she smiled as she walked back to the courtroom with her mother.
The singer appeared red-eyed and holding her lawyer's hand as she left the courtroom during the first of two breaks at the hearing in the couple's ongoing custody battle.
Spears and her lawyers, as well as Federline and his attorney, convened to adjacent rooms outside of the courtroom during the break. "This has happened before and it's completely unpredictable," court spokesman Allan Parachini said of the recess. He added that there has been no testimony in Tuesday's hearing so far.
At the end of the break, Spears smiled and seemed in good spirits as she made her way back to the courtroom with her mom, Lynne.
