A judge in the Bahamas has ordered a retrial in the John Travolta extortion case because of possible juror misconduct.
Judge Anita Allen issued the order on Wednesday after a local politician said in a speech on television and radio that one of the defendants had been acquitted after the month-long court case.
Allen did not set a date for a new trial.
An ambulance driver and his lawyer were charged with trying to extort $US25 million ($A26.9 million) from John Travolta following the death of the actor's son, Jett, in the Bahamas.
Travolta's lawyer Michael Ossi said he would cooperate in any way possible and testify again if necessary.
