SANTA MARIA, Calif. — A tissue and some hugs for Michael Jackson (search).
The singer dabbed at his eyes while hearing the court clerk announce his acquittal on all counts. One of Jackson's lawyers burst into tears as the verdict was announced. He later got hugs from her and from head lawyer Thomas Mesereau (search).
Jackson appeared stone-faced as he began to walk out of the courthouse, flanked by sisters LaToya and Janet. His brother, Jermaine, could be seen smiling while waiting for him to exit.

As the screams from supporters grew louder, Jackson touched his heart twice and waved again before blowing a kiss to the crowd. He was then put into his black SUV before his caravan drove away — chased by some fans.
