Add comments
The case of an alleged plot to extort 25 million dollars from John Travolta after his son's death in the Bahamas will go to trial.
Prosecutors says the island chain's government has collected all witness statements, and the arraignment of the two defendants is scheduled for April 28.
Paramedic Tarino Lightbourne and former island senator Pleasant Bridgewater appeared in court for the pretrial hearing on Thursday. Both are free on bail.
The pair are accused of demanding money in exchange for suppressing a document related to the treatment of the celebrity's son, Jett Travolta.
The chronically ill teen died in January after he suffered a seizure at a family holiday home.
