Celebrity Justice
Cop: Travolta Suspect Flushed Evidence

Posted Oct 8th 2009 2:00PM by TMZ Staff

JohnTravolta A Bahamas cop just testified defendant Pleasant Bridgewater admitted to giving key evidence in the case the dead goldfish treatment ... flushing it down a toilet at her home on the island.

Det. Sgt. Debra Thompson testified today about what went down on January 22 when they arrested Bridgewater -- who allegedly helped broker the extortion deal between paramedic Tarino Lightbourne and John's lawyer.

Thompson said the day of the arrest, they searched Bridgewater's office at her law firm ... with Bridgewater in tow.

At the office, Thompson said Bridgewater told them they weren't going to find what they were looking for -- a copy of the extortion document -- because she burned it with a candle and then flushed it down one of the toilets at her house.

Thompson said they then escorted Bridgewater to her home, where she actually showed them the candle in question -- so they took photos of it.

Thompson didn't say if they also took pics of the commode.

UPDATE: The prosecution is through calling witnesses -- they'll all be back in court on Tuesday. Stay tuned!

2. I'm sick of hearing about John. His son needed medical treatment and John chose Scientology over his own son. He made his bed and now he can lay in it.

4. Any slime that would use the death of someone's child to make coin deserves jail time, among other things that will be left up to God. It is sickening.

6. It took a while to figure out but the ET Gosslin live stream is on a loop. About every 15 minutes a guy drives up and says hey guys have you seen anything, right when he does this a helicopter flies over.

So much for their live stream.

7. I am sick of people holding the fact that John Travolta's choice of Scientology had anything to do with his beloved son's death. John Travolta did everything he could to save his son. I hope people do not think this is a Christian making such a cruel statement. Who is this person to judge??? Keep your trap shut!!!
Losing a child is the worst agony life can hand you, so have a little pity. John and Kelly do not deserve this hatred. What is wrong with people?

10. If the Travolta's would have had the child on the proper anti-sezuire medication this would not have happened. When you are too arrogant to think disease will not harm you, bad things happen. Tragic really! This is a easily or was a readily mangageable condition.

11. It's sad that John and Kelly have to go through this while still grieving for their son.
