Jackson died June 25, 2009 from an overdose of the surgical anesthetic Propofol combined with Lorazepam and Midazolam. Murray was just handcuffed in court after the judge remanded him into custody.  He will remain in jail until his sentencing.  His sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 29, 2011.

Michael Flanagan, claims there are already plans to appeal Monday's "guilty" verdict. Flanagan says he's still "very disappointed" in the decision.
