This is a bit shocking.
As you might recall, Uma Thurman's crazed fan, Jack Jordan, was found guilty earlier this month of stalking her.
And just yesterday, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Gregory Carro released the former mental patient from jail and allowed him to go home with his parents.
We're not sure who's crazier as the judge could have kept Jordan for an additional four more months in jail but decided he had enough.
Jordan was released with three years probation.
Judge Carro also issued a restraining order for the next five years to keep the stalker away from Thurman.
And the judge warned him, "If you repeat this conduct again, you will most certainly go to jail."
Let's hope the treatment and counseling when he returns home really helps.
As for Assistant District Attorney Colleen Walsh, she tried to keep the stalker in jail, telling the judge that Jordan is "a continuing danger to the community. He is still in denial about his own actions. She [Thurman] couldn't even look in his direction [when they were in court]."
In a statement yesterday, Jordan said "Not once did I know that she had read a single thing I had written. I've never stalked a woman before in my life. The slightest word from Ms. Thurman - if she had said, 'You are frightening me, leave me alone' or as soon as her assistants said it or her family said it, I would have left her alone."
He then proceeded to plead with the judge to let him out of jail.
Adding, "I have to say my heart is filled with fear after having experienced my incarceration at Rikers and Bellevue. I've seen nothing, felt nothing positive from it."
Ya, it's PRISON!!!!!!!
Forget the five year restraining order.
They should just give him a life-time restraining order and make sure he never contacts Thurman or her family again.
Nutjob!
