The temperature was hot and tempers were frayed Tuesday in the John Travolta Extortion Trial in the Bahamas.

Travolta Testifies About Son’s Death, Says Jett Was Autistic

Two defendants, Pleasant Bridgewater and Tarino Lightbourne, stand accused of trying to extort $25million from John Travolta following his son Jett’s death on the Island back in January.

Alleged Travolta Extortionists Plead Not Guilty

During cross examination Bridgewater’s attorney Murrio Ducille accused Travolta’s attorney and close friend, Michael McDermott, of being the person that actually hatched the extortion plot. McDermott hotly denied the accusation.

Things got so heated at one point that the judge had to step in and warn both men several times about making comments.

In true Hollywood style, when accused of the being the person that gave birth to the extortion plot, McDermott burst out with the line, “You can’t handle the truth! You can’t handle the truth!” Prompting Ducille to retort, “You’ve watched A Few Good Men, eh?”

Comments

I really think things are off track here. Now back to the real reason for the comments. I feel they have been in enough pain over Jett's death and I hope they get to the bottom of all this soon. God Bless

I also feel sorry for them in the respect that people would take advantage of them during a time of mourning the loss of their only son. This world is becoming a very greedy, money hungry, and self centered that we are losing compassion.

I feel so sorry for John and Kelly having to finally admit their son was autistic and suffered seizures. All of these years they have said he suffered from Kawasaki disease because their religion did not recognize the other diseases.

No college course I know offers grammar lessons or punctuation. Most of us are taught well before high school! Besides, any moron knows to capitalize a movie title - I was just SAYING! LMAO!!

I wish Radar would hire me to write their stories because I'm witty and know the basic rules of grammar and spelling.

Get a life! No one worries about the spelling, grammar, or punctuation on this site or any of the other sites. We read for the latest celeb info. This is not a high school/college course.

Radar Online is not a homemade blog by some kid on his laptop. All professional gossip blogs should have proper spelling and grammar in their posts. The fact that you dont think so shows how unintelligent you must be. Go read a book.
