Travolta charges dismissed

NASSAU, Bahamas — A judge in the Bahamas dismissed charges yesterday against two people accused of trying to extort money from John Travolta after the prosecutor said the actor no longer wanted to pursue a case stemming from the death of his teenage son.
Prosecutor Neil Braithwaite had submitted a motion to drop the case after a jury had already been picked and a retrial about to start for the two defendants. (AP)
