Michael Jackson made his first public statement since his acquittal by a California court, yesterday. He spoke out on his official website, after a four month trial for sexual abuse of a minor. "Your love, support and loyalty made it all possible. You were there when I really needed you. I will never forget you," Jackson said in a statement to fans posted on Sunday on his official Web site. "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." Michael Jackson was found not guilty on June 13th , by a jury in Santa Maria, California. The singer, 46, was up against ten counts of sexual abuse of a minor, age 13. If he had received a guilty verdict, he would have been sent down for 18 years, 9 months. |
