(AP Photo/Tim Aylen) Jett Travolta was “dead, d-e-a-d, dead” before the ambulance arrived, Bahamian paramedic Tarino Lightbourne testified yesterday—adding that it was the Travoltas’ lawyer who offered him $15 million to destroy a “Refusal of Transport/Treatment” document signed by the actor. The paramedic is charged along with a former Bahamas senator with attempting to extort $25 million from Travolta over claims that he and wife Kelly Preston intentionally killed their son. "[Travolta's lawyer Michael McDermott] said, 'We're going to give you $15 million,' and my eyes popped," Lightbourne testified. "I said, 'I can't even count to $1 million.' I still don't know what extortion is." Read These Next Opposing takes on Trump's 'combative' speech. 2 of Rob and Michele Reiner's kids speak out.
