Hollywood actor John Travolta was ”upset” when the trial of two people who had attempted to extort 18 million from him over his son Jett’s death ended in a mistrial
A judge ordered the two people accused of trying to extort 18 million from the Hollywood actor following the death of his son Jett in the Bahamas will face a new trial “in the interest of justice”.
Senior Justice Anita Allensaid she was forced to make the decision after a speech broadcast on the TV and radio hinted the jury would acquit one of the defendants.
While the jurors were deliberating, she told the court: “We are concerned in the interest of justice that there has been a communication from the jury room.
“The dilemma that we face is great. I am erring on the side of caution. Justice must be transparent.”
