Jackson fans drift away from Neverland

Michael Jackson’s fans and the media throng have mostly abandoned their vigil outside the Neverland Ranch in California, leaving the singer inside to recover from his bruising trial and the world outside awaiting his next move.

By late last night only 20 to 30 hardcore Jackson fans remained outside Neverland. Of the dozen or more television trucks that had once lined the walls outside Jackson’s estate, only two remained.
