John Travolta To Be First Witness
John Travolta
John Travolta will be the first witness called today in the extortion trial over his son’s death. After John step off of the stand, there will be a legal dogfight in the courtroom over what could be the smoking gun in the case.
Sources say Travolta will testify for less than two hours. When he finishes, defense lawyers will mount an objection to the introduction of a secret videotape which shows the attempted extortion played out.
The video was shot by the authorities in the Bahamas. It shows Travolta’s lawyers listening closely as the alleged $25 million extortion demand is laid out on the table.
Prosecutors say former state senator and attorney Pleasant Bridgewater and paramedic Tarino Lightbourne threatened to release an essentially irrelevant document connected to Jett’s death unless Travolta paid them.
