(AP Photo/Tim Aylen) Bahamian prosecutors are ready to begin the extortion trial against two people accused of trying to profit from the death of Jett Travolta, E! reports. A former senator and a paramedic are charged with attempting to blackmail the Travoltas into giving up $25 million. They had a "failure to transport" document, apparently trying to suggest the Travoltas failed to take all medical steps for Jett. Arraignment is scheduled for April 28; no word yet on whether John Travolta—named as a witness—will take the stand.
