Travolta’s Testimony In Extortion Case Irrelevant?
John Travolta returned to court this morning in the Bahamas and provided additional testimony in the extortion case arising out of his son Jett’s death.

Although last week’s testimony focused on finding his son after a seizure, today’s testimony was all about the alleged extortion plot.
Travolta explained in court today that he never had any direct contact with the defendants, but that he understood through an employee and his lawyer that the defendants threatened to release information claiming he was at fault for his son’s death. Specifically, if he didn’t pay them, they would “imply that the death of my son was intentional and I was culpable in some way.”
If the defense attorneys are smart, they will persuade the jury that Travolta’s testimony is hearsay and irrelevant. If he didn’t have any direct contact with the defendants, then he really does not have any direct evidence of their illegal conduct.
Don’t fret, though.
Travolta’s lawyer, who did have contact with the defendants, testified yesterday that the defendants wanted Travolta to pay them in exchange for the return of certain documents — ambulance dispatch reports and the refusal to transport form. The defendants allegedly communicated that Travolta should pay because “he would not want his name tarnished in media.”
