Uma Thurman Given 'Stalker' Case Court Date


Be Cool Premiere
HOLLYWOOD - Uma Thurman will stand face-to-face in court with the man accused of stalking her next month.

A judge at Manhattan's Supreme Court in New York has set a tentative trial date of Mar. 11 for Jackson Jordan, 36, who is charged with harassment and felony coercion.

He is accused of attempting to gain entry to Thurman's trailer on a New York movie shoot, and sending her letters and drawings, including a sketch of the actress digging his grave.

Another letter read, "I feel afraid that if I see you out again with another man, I will want to kill myself."

Jordan has turned down the offer of enrollment in a mental health program--which would have shortened any custodial sentence he is given--because he wanted to see her in court.

The defendant's lawyer George Vomvolakis has revealed he intends to argue in court that "he was just a romantic pursuing the woman that he loved".

If convicted, Jordan faces a minimum sentence of one year in a mental health institution.
