Michael’s first statement after being acquitted of the charges

Without God, my children, my family, and you—my fans—I couldn’t have made it through this time. Your love, your support, and your loyalty made it possible.

You were there when I truly needed you. I will never forget you. Your everlasting love protected me, dried my tears, and helped me get through these hardships.

I will cherish and protect your love and support forever. You are my inspiration.

With love,

Michael Jackson
