John Travolta : Travolta extortion trial may get fast-tracked
- 1 Comment
John Travolta’s case involving an alleged 25-million-pound extortion attempt targeting the actor following the death of his 16-year-old son Jett may get fast-tracked.
The Hollywood heartthrob had informed the Bahamas police claiming blackmailers threatened to publish a photo of the teenager as he lay struggling for his life, and make “false claims” unless they were paid “millions of dollars”.
Cops had hauled in driver Tarino Lightbourne and charged him with conspiracy to commit extortion and attempted extortion.
Pleasant Bridgewater, an island attorney and lawmaker and Obie Wilchcombe, the island’s ex-Minister of Tourism and a friend of the celebrity couple, had also faced probe for their alleged involvement.
And now, Bahamian prosecutors were said to be in the process of fast-tracking the case for trial before the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas in Nassau.
The prosecution allegedly held plans to present a voluntary bill of indictment to Magistrate Carolita Bethel, also in Nassau.
“It’s a time-saving device. The full preliminary inquiry is like a trial,” People magazine quoted a source as saying.
“The Supreme Court is usually booked up months in advance. But they will give it top priority. They could substitute out another case,” the source added. (ANI)

Where were all the suppossed guests that the Travolta’s invited to the party?
Where they already on the island?
Surely for a New Years Eve celebration, they would have already been there the day Jett died.
Why was the only guest mentioned that was already there on the island for the party was his lawyer and the lawyer’s family?
Why dodn’t the Travoltas have a service in the Bahamas for Jett so their “guests” could mourn?
Why the empty cakset going to the airport making everyone think that Jett was in the casket? When he was being cremated back at Rand Memeorial?
Why the rush?
Why was the austopsy different from what ohther people said? One said there was trauma to the head and a big bump, then they said there WAS no head trauma.
Why did Travolta fly his plane the DAY of the death back and forth and back and forth to Florida and the Bahamas?
