ET has the details...

JACK JORDAN, the alleged stalker of the actress UMA THURMAN, took the witness stand Friday in NY State Supreme Court. He told jurors that he never threatened to harm or harass her, but that he felt closeness with the actress.

He characterized a confirmation card he sent her as "humorous," not frightening.

On Thursday, Uma took the stand and testified that the accused stalker had approached her assistant on a movie set in 2005, saying he was a friend of her parents' and wanted to say hello. She said Jordan then gave her assistant a card to give to Uma. "It didn't look right, it was very disturbing," she said. "I was completely freaked out. It was almost like a nightmare -- scary."

In the card, he wrote: "I gave up trying to describe the contents of my heart to famous women I don't know after CAROLL CHANNING broke my heart in the early '90s," referring to the 87-year-old stage and screen actress.

"We should date or move in together and then get married," Jordan wrote Uma. "After all, I feel like you've been stalking me."

In his defense, Jordan's attorney told jurors that he has been diagnosed as schizophrenic and bipolar -- and therefore should be in treatment, rather than in jail.

If convicted, Jordan faces up to a year in jail. The jury is expected to make their ruling on Monday.
