Now on trial is Jack Jordan, 37 and former mental hospital patient now stands trial for stalking and harassing Uma Thurman and her family. News state that this has been going on for 3 years now - since late 2004.
The poor man actually thinks he is in love with Uma Thurman and that their lives are meant to be "pre-ordained" was the word used. Both her parents (Birgitte and Dr. Robert Thurman) tried to talk him out of it but it didn't work
At this point though, they arrived in court because the man now threated to kill himself if he wasn't allowed to see Uma Thurman.
A Reuters article mentioned that in phone conversations with Uma Thurman's mother and brother, Jordan said that he would kill himself if he was not put in touch with the actress, family members testified.
The actress, who turned 38 on Tuesday, has received threatening messages in the past, including someone calling himself Anthony who sent an open switch-blade knife, her father said.
His lawyers are pleading insanity and probably rightly so because he clearly has a problem separating reality from fantasy. This is not a unique problem, but when you start harassing people and threatening them then it becomes a danger
