Jackson hospitalised after trial

Michael Jackson was admitted to hospital suffering from dehydration and weight loss following his acquittal at his child molestation trial last month.

Jackson's lawyer Tom Mesereau told BBC radio: "Michael Jackson was ill from time to time. In fact, people didn't realise he actually entered the hospital after the verdict.

"He was dehydrated, he had lost a tremendous amount of weight, he was having trouble keeping food down, he was terrified about what was going happen to his children and he had a recurring back problem."
