In a interview that is sure to outrage many, the lawyer for the man accused of extorting John Travolta blames the actor for using his power and wealth to destroy the criminal defendant’s life, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Carlson Shurland is the lawyer for Bahamas ambulance driver Tarino Lightbourne, who was accused of trying to extort $25 million from Travolta after the tragic death of the actor’s son Jett. Lightbourne and politician Pleasant Bridgewater were alleged to have threatened to give the media a document the actor had signed, releasing the ambulance driver and his colleagues from any liability for Jett’s death after Travolta decided to try to fly his son to Florida for treatment rather than have him taken to a Freeport hospital.

Travolta did have his son taken to the hospital after realizing it would be faster than flying him to the U.S. for treatment.
