Date Set in John Travolta Extortion Retrial

A date has now been set in the retrial of the people accused of conspiring to extort John Travolta over the death of his son, Jett ... TMZ has learned.

The judge in the Bahamas set the retrial for September 6. The trial is expected to last 4 weeks.

Pleasant Bridgewater and Tarino Lightbourne are both accused of demanding millions of dollars from John Travolta, in return for keeping a document related to Jett's death secret. Ironically, the document -- a medical waiver -- is of no real import.

The case had been tried last year but the judge declared a mistrial during jury deliberations because of jury misconduct.

I feel so bad for the Travoltas. It's bad enough that they lost their son and then had to deal with extortion. Then they had to endure the trial to only have it end in a mistrial. And now they have to wait until September for the re-trial! That's a long damn time to wait! And what if some other moron does something stupid to cause another mistrial? Then the Travoltas still won't have an "end" to their ordeal. I wish the Travoltas peace....

Ah, look at them two... He loves his son so much. He must miss him dearly. Forget those scandalous others. Soon they'll be out of your thoughts.

I think the Travoltas have to suit scientology church too, for extorting them for so many years, and "advising" them to give sauna treatments to a nice but mentally challenged kid.
