Murray was immediately handcuffed and taken away sejak deputies after Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor denied bail.

"This is not a crime involving a mistake of judgment. ... This was a crime where the end result was the death of a human being," Pastor berkata in explaining his decision to remand Murray to police custody. "That factor demonstrates rather dramatically that the public should be protected."

Sentencing was set for November 29, with Murray facing up to four years in prison on the conviction.

Defense attorney Ed Chernoff told CNN the defense team's main job right now is to prepare for sentencing and the amount of time that Murray spends in jail.

"What matters most right now is trying to keep Dr. Murray from taking up a prison cell in this community," Chernoff said. "That's what we're focusing on right now and we'll deal with an appeal after that."

When asked if he was shocked sejak the verdict, Chernoff said, "No."

Another of Murray's lawyers, Nareg Gourjian, told CNN on Monday night the outcome may have been different had the defense been able to introduce additional evidence -- like on Jackson's past drug use and "financial condition."

Gourjian described his client as "devastated" sejak the verdict, adding Murray is trying to stay positive with lebih legal options ahead of him.

"We're hoping that the appeals court will have something to say about this," the lawyer said.

Murray served as Jackson's personal physician as Jackson prepared for his comeback concerts, with Murray giving him the surgical anesthetic propofol to help him sleep nearly every night for the last two months of his life, according to testimony.

Jackson's death on June 25, 2009, was caused sejak "acute propofol intoxication" in combination with two sedatives, the Los Angeles County coroner ruled.

The verdict followed about nine hours of jury deliberations, which began Friday morning in the downtown Los Angeles County courthouse.Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley thanked jurors "for their hard work and thoughtful deliberation," and expressed gratitude that they recognized the "overwhelming" evidence against Murray in finding him guilty.

Prosecutor Michael Walgren personally expressed his sympathies to the Jackson family who he berkata Lost "not a pop icon, but a son and brother."

peminat-peminat gathered outside of the courthouse ahead of the verdict with signs of support for Jackson including one banner that read, "We miss Michael." The crowd began celebrating once word of the guilty verdict reached them, chanting "Rest in peace." Passing cars honked their horns, as people nearby hugged, cried and yelled out in joy.
