The former mental patient accused of stalking Uma Thurman was found guilty today by a Manhattan Supreme Court jury of stalking and harassing the movie star for nearly three years. 

The defendant, the son of a physicist and a homemaker, was acquitted of two other harassment charges.

Jack Jordan, 37, faces up to one year in prison and was ordered by Justice Gregory Carro to have a psychiatric exam before his sentencing on June 2.

Somber-faced, Jordan was led from the courtroom in handcuffs.

Jordan became obsessed with an Academy Award-nominated actress after seeing her in the movie “Kill Bill.” Since then he has been sending Thurman and her family harassing cards and e-mails.

His lawyer, George Vomvolakis, who kept insisting that his smitten client did nothing illegal and was just in love, said he surprised at the verdict reached after two days of deliberation.   “This verdict is unreasonable, it makes no sense,” said the lawyer who vowed to file an appeal.“This guy couldn’t hurt a fly,” said Vomvolakis outside the courtroom after the verdict. “He stole a mango when he was in college, that was the extent of his criminal record.” 

Jordan had testified that he did not mean to upset or harass Thurman and realized he was foolish.”I had this feeling of longing for Ms. Thurman and I was trying to explain it,” he told the jury. “I was not trying to scare her in any way.”

Thurman did not show up for the verdict, but she testified last Thursday that she was scared for her life and her two children. She first met Jordan on the set of “My Super Ex-Girlfriend” in 2005, when he pretended to be the family’s friend and gave her a card containing a picture of a headless bride, drawings of him and Thurman next to an open grave, and handwritten words; “Chocolate, mouth, soft, kissing.”

Jordan, who graduated from the University of Chicago, was living in his car on the
Lower East Side and working as a part-time lifeguard. His parents committed him to a mental institution after he showed up at Thurman’s trailer. 

“He was just trying to make her love him back,” said Vomvolakis.
