Michael Jackson Makes First Public Statement Since Acquittal

Two weeks after he was acquitted of child molestation charges, Michael Jackson made his first public statement, via his web site, thanking his fans for their loyalty and support throughout his trial. "Without God, my children, my family and you, my fans," he wrote, "I could not have made it through. Your love, support and loyalty made it all possible" This is the first the public has heard from the 46-year-old Jackson since he was cleared of all charges against him two weeks ago. Throughout the four-month-long trial, fans showed their support for Jackson by rallying outside the Santa Maria, California courthouse. "You were there when I really needed you," Jackson wrote. "I will never forget you. Your ever-present love held me, dried my tears, and carried me through. I will treasure your devotion and support forever. You are my inspiration."
