Mary-Kate Olsen Is Off The Hook: Heath Ledger Case Finally Closed

Posted on 07 August 2008 by tammy

Mary-Kate Olsen is off the hook. She apparently gave the Feds enough info about Heath Ledger’s death to get them off her back.

Federal prosecutors have decided not to pursue a criminal case regarding Heath Ledger’s acquisition of prescription painkillers and sleeping pills, according to the AP:

“Prosecutors in the U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan had been overseeing a Drug Enforcement Administration probe into whether the painkillers found in Ledger’s system were obtained illegally. But the prosecutors have bowed out “because they don’t believe there’s a viable target,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because no charges have been filed.”

TMZ claims that the DEA kept Heath’s investigation open for as long as they did because they wanted to be in the spotlight a little more. They reportedly interviewed a guy that Heath smoked a joint with back in the 90’s and wanted him to testify in front of the grand jury. Ridiculous.

Thank God they finally closed the case, I’m sick of hearing about it and seeing Mary-Kate’s face everywhere. Leave the damn girl alone. Let her and her troll sister go back in hiding.
