John Travolta Testifies at Extortion Trial
After arriving in the Bahamas earlier in the day, John Travolta took the stand to testify in the extortion case surrounding the death of his young son, Jett Travolta.
The case alleges that paramedic Tarino Lightbourn and his attorney, former Bahamian Sen. Pleasant Bridgewater, conspired to extort $25 million from Travolta in return for the hiding of a document related to Jett’s death.
Talking about his son, Travolta, who was accompanied by wife Kelly Preston, told, “My son was autistic and he suffered from seizure disorder every 5 to 10 days. He would suffer a seizure that would last 45 seconds to a minute and sleep for 12 hours.”
As for the events just before his passing, John said, “He [nanny Eli Wheaton] was pounding on the door upstairs where we were sleeping. I took the place of the woman who was doing CPR. She was an employee of Old Bahama Bay who I recognized as such.”
Below are pictures of John Travolta and Kelly Preston arriving for their court appearance (September 23).
