NASSAU, Bahamas — John Travolta said Wednesday that he tried desperately to save the life of his seizure- prone son and made perhaps his first public description of the boy as autistic as he testified in the trial of two people accused of trying to blackmail him.
With his wife, Kelly Preston, looking on inside the Nassau courtroom, Travolta said that he performed CPR on his son after a nanny alerted him that the teen had fallen ill at a family vacation home. Jett Travolta later died from a seizure.
Travolta is the star witness at the trial of two people — paramedic Tarino Lightbourne and former Bahamian Sen. Pleasant Bridgewater — who are accused of trying to extort $25 million from the movie star. The Associated Press
