She said Rose has not been interviewed, though an offer is on the table for him to speak, adding there is no timetable to conclude the investigation.We have to let the investigation go where it takes us, Hernandez said.Speaking at Knicks media day Monday, Rose said he had not been aware of the LAPD investigation.

As far as the trial, thats something I cant think about because its not true, I will be proven innocent.ESPN Knicks reporter Ian Begley contributed to this report ' ' '
