John Travolta  brought his wife to tears in a courtroom in Bahamas as He spoke publicly for the first time about his son's death. Two people face charges. They tried to extort 6 25 million dollars from  the actor. He says they threatened to publicize  medical documents about Jett Travolta's death. Travolta says he signed them in the heat of the moment  thinking he would fly his son to a hospital in Florida instead of a local one.


"All we know is that it was a quick decision that Travolta made during the worst moments of his life, and that somebody was trying to take advantage of him because of it. "
