Mary-Kate Olsen Faces Grand Jury In Heath Ledger Investigation 8/6/08
Mary-Kate Olsen has been subpoenaed to testify in front of a Grand Jury as
investigators hope to end the mystery surrounding Heath Ledger's drug overdose
death.
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) officials in New York are calling
on Olsen, Ledger's close friend, to fill in the blanks related to the
six-month-long investigation, according to U.S. news show Access
Hollywood.
The latest news comes a day after her lawyer claimed the actress has
provided law officials with all the information she knows about Ledger's
accidental drug overdose in January (08).
The 22-year-old actress' testimony is sought after because the masseuse
who found Ledger dead called Olsen before contacting the emergency
services.
Reports on Monday (04Aug08) suggested Olsen was refusing to co-operate
with the federal probe until she was guaranteed immunity from
prosecution.
But her lawyer Michael C. Miller insisted, "We don't know the source of
the information being quoted in the media regarding the Government's
inquiry, but these descriptions are incomplete and inaccurate." A
timeline for Olsen's testimony has not been released.
