Mistrial Declared in John Travolta Extortion Case

A mistrial was declared yesterday in the John Travolta extortion case because of reported jury misconduct. If you don't recall, two ambulance drivers were accused of trying to extort $25 million from John after the death of his 16-year old son Jett earlier this year. TMZ says

Justice Anita Allen released the jury and declared a mistrial after learning that a member of Parliament announced at a political convention that defendant Pleasant Bridgewater — a former Senator — had been acquitted by the jury.

It's unclear if jurors had actually reached a verdict. There's an unconfirmed report that one of the jurors may have communicated information to the Parliament member who spoke out.

Travolta's rep issued the following statement:

'We are disappointed to hear about the alleged juror misconduct since we know that the Bahamian government, the court, the other jurors and John Travolta as the victim want to have this matter adjudicated through the judicial system. Mr. Travolta has and will continue to cooperate with the Bahamian authorities in the prosecution of the defendants for extortion.'

In more interesting news, if your body temperature was 86 degrees, you could live to be 200; most car horns honk in the key of F; and bats always turn left when exiting a cave. God, the gossip today sucks.
