Murray was immediately handcuffed and taken away door 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 zei 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 door 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" door the verdict, adding Murray is trying to stay positive with meer 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 door "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 zei lost "not a pop icon, but a son and brother."
fans 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.

Last jaar I told myself, 'This is the first year, it's okay to cry. "
But now a jaar later I am crying even more.
u know, volgende jaar I would be in high school, I finished chapter in my life.
And I want to thank you, u were there for me in the most difficult moments.
u are the one who came when I fell down.
u were the only one around.
u are the one who zei that I'm free, when if it seems so hard to be.
Michael u Were my Heaven on earth
u were my hunger, my thirst.
Michael my hart-, hart used to be cold
'Til your hands laid on my soul.
Every night I look at the seconde ster to the right and I wonder,
Do u see us?
Do u see the poor and the rich?
The strong and weak?
The good and bad?
Becuse thanks to u I see them all. And today I already know which side I'm belong.
So my hero The Man In The Mirror
Thank u so much for all u been gegeven me.
Michael, For me u are Forever.

God looked at his Garden
And found an empty place
Then he looked upon the Earth
And saw your tired face
He put his arms round you
And lifted u to the rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
Dedicated to Michael Jackson. I'm so sorry Michael,
u came to help, they hurt you
u taught us to love, they accused u of loving
It's all our fault.
I know u are in a better place now I love u very much.
Bye..till we meet again!
We will never forget you, u were a blessing to the world and to us
God looked at his Garden

Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyers have subpoenaed Sony for the raw footage from the "This Is It" rehearsals to toon the jury ... Michael Jackson was a physical and mental mess before he died ... TMZ has learned.
We've learned Murray's lawyers want the tapes to toon Jackson was slow, lethargic and weak in the days prior to his death. Although some of the video shows an alert MJ, other portions, we're told, clearly toon something is wrong with the singer.
Murray's lawyers want to toon jurors in the manslaughter case ... Michael was ill of even dying before the fateful morning ... so it wasn't really the June 25 Propofol injections that killed MJ.
