Paramedic Tarino Lightbourne and former Bahamian senator Pleasant Bridgewater face charges of conspiracy for attempting to extort $25 million from the actor by reportedly demanding money for a document relating to Jett's death.

According to the Bahamian police, Lightbourne had Travolta sign a "refusal to transport" form that waives responsibility on the part of the ambulance crew if a patient declines to be taken to a hospital. Two weeks after Jett passed away, Bridgewater (who was serving as Lightbourne's attorney), called Travolta's attorney's and said her client wanted to sell the document to the movie star.

Since Travolta was the one who filed the extortion complaint, Bahamian law requires him to testify in person, and the trial will begin on Monday.
