NEW YORK — A former mental patient accused of stalking Uma Thurman rejected a plea offer Wednesday that would have put him in a psychiatric facility and settled charges against him.
Jack Jordan, 35, refused to plead guilty to attempted coercion, a felony the court would have reduced to a misdemeanor once he completed at least a year of a mental health program.
Defense lawyer George Vomvolakis said Jordan would consider pleading guilty to a misdemeanor with commitment to a psychiatric program.
Jordan was arrested in October on charges of stalking the 37-year-old actress for two years, including trying unsuccessfully to get into her trailer on a Manhattan movie set and sending Thurman and her family members numerous e-mails.
He has been free on $10,000 bail.

Jordan, a graduate student at Mills College in Oakland, Calif., lives with his parents in Massachusetts.

"Oh, she's great. She's scared she's going to get in trouble because I just said. Is it easy to just pick up the phone and call your dad anytime?" DeGeneres said. "And now she's scared she's not going to get any Christmas presents."
So the president got on the line: "How's my little girl doing?"
"I do want to say Merry Christmas to your audience, and I want to tell my little girl love her"; the president said.
"I love you too, Dad," Jenna responded.
