Lawyer: John Travolta ‘Wanted Closure’ in Extortion Case

A lawyer for John Travolta is speaking out about the star’s emotions following the news that his extortion case was declared a mistrial.

"He was upset as he wanted closure," attorney Mike Ossi tells People.com. "The family wants to privately begin the long and difficult healing process – as well as to properly honor Jett's memory – without the cloud of this litigation over their heads. But he said he is committed to cooperating with authorities so justice can be served."

Ossi says Travolta, his wife Kelly Preston and their 9-year-old daughter Ella Bleu "are spending all their time together" following the loss of their son and brother Jett earlier this year.
