The multi-million dollar John Travolta extortion trial following the sudden death of his son Jett is due to begin in the Bahamas next week, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Paramedic Tarino Lightbourne and Pleasant Bridgewater have pled not guilty to trying to extort $25 million from the superstar following Jett’s death in January 2009. The trial will begin on Monday, September 21, 2009, at Nassau Supreme Court before Senior Justice Anita Allen. Travolta is expected to give evidence at the trial which authorities expect to last for at least three weeks.
Lightbourne drove 16-year-old Jett to the hospital on January 2, 2009, after he suffered a seizure and died at the family’s vacation home in the Bahamas. Former Bahamian senator Bridgewater, who is also accused of extortion in the case, resigned her position after charges were filed against her.
