INVESTIGATION INTO JACKSON'S DEATH LENGTHY BECAUSE POLICE UNDERMANNED

The investigation into Michael Jackson's death is taking so long because only three detectives have been assigned to the case, it has been claimed.
Los Angeles police have yet to interview the late King of Pop's security guard and chief of staff because there are not enough officers working on the investigation, according to reports in the United States.
"There are only three detectives from LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division assigned to the case," an insider said. "This is one of the reasons the investigation is still ongoing at this point."
Alberto Alvarez, who made the 911 emergency call the day the Thriller singer died, has not been interviewed by police.
Alvarez, a security officer, could be crucial to establishing the time line of events as police focus on Jackson's private doctor, Conrad Murray.
Dr. Murray administered various drugs and the anaesthetic Propofol to 50-year-old Jackson, who stopped breathing when the doctor left the room.
Officials say Jackson died from a Propofol overdose.
Michael Amir, described as Jackson's chief of staff, has also not been interviewed by police.
Alvarez and Amir are both represented by lawyer Carl Douglas, who told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: "We arranged two separate occasions for LAPD investigators to meet with my clients.
“My clients came early wearing suits and ties. The first meeting was cancelled and rescheduled. The second meeting I had to call them to inquire about the [detectives'] absence."
Establishing a solid timeline of events is crucial if police are going to make a case against Murray, whose lawyers are already disputing the authorities' version of when events happened.
