Uma
Thurman Does Jury Duty 4/18/08
Uma Thurman landed back in court this month (Apr08) as she awaits the
trial of a man accused of stalking her - she has been put on jury duty.
The actress was recently forced to undergo jury selection in New York
City with other randomly-picked members of the public.
Thurman wasn't selected and admits she was disappointed to miss out,
although it would have caused her career chaos, as she is currently busy
promoting new movie The Life Before Her Eyes.
The star reveals, "I was on jury duty downtown. it was a misdemeanor
case. I wasn't selected. but I got quite excited by the thought of it.
"But I was nervous, because if it's been a long case it would have
caused problems. How do you tell that to the producers of a movie?"
Thurman will get her day in court when the delayed trial of Jackson
Jordan kicks off. Jordan, 36, stands 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.
