Jacko invites fans to post-court party

MICHAEL JACKSON stood on top of his chauffeur-driven van, waved to his fans and invited them all to a party last night, shortly after pleading not guilty to abusing a teenage cancer patient.

The singer had hundreds of fans in a frenzy outside the courthouse in California, as he was heaved on top of the vehicle to give a small dance and flash victory signs. The incredible spectacle came after Jackson, wearing sunglasses, a dark suit and a medallion, appeared 20 minutes late before a judge who called his tardiness an “insult”.

Inside the court, in Santa Maria, Jackson caused a further stir when he asked to go to the toilet and his entourage followed him.
