Is Conrad Murray working toward an appeal?

Micheal Jackson fans the world over will remember where they were the moment Dr. Conrad Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter Monday afternoon.

After a deliberation that lasted 10 hours and seven minutes, the jury sat before the court with a unanimous guilty verdict. The courtroom sat in utter silence as the verdict was read until a high-pitched squeal from Rebbie Jackson's daughter finally broke the silence.

Defense attorney Michael Flanagan's efforts to keep Murray out of jail on bail were unsuccessful and he was remanded into the custody of the state until sentencing on November 29. Murray now faces up to four years in a state prison and the loss of his medical license.

However, according to Fox News, despite the outcome of the trial, Micheal Flanagan has grounds for an appeal, although Flanagan has declined to elaborate on exactly what those grounds might be.

In a statement released by leading trial attorney Debra Opri, Flanagan has virtually no chance for a successful appeal on Murray's behalf.

"The unanimous 'guilty' verdict for Conrad Murray is due to the prosecution's clear-cut evidence. Judge Pastor's remand order (taking Murray into immediate custody) emphasizes that the eyes of the world are on the Court," she told Fox411's Pop Tarts column. "Though we have to wait until November 29 for sentencing, rest assured it will be a substantial part of 18 to 22 months at a state prison."

David Wohl, a California criminal defense attorney, spoke on the defense's options moving forward, stating that Murray's defense team have most likely already filed a formal notice of appeal, and that process will take a year to 18 months.

"They could also file a petition for habeas corpus which would amount to a request of the appellate court to free Dr. Murray pending further hearings, Wohl said. "Those are rarely successful.”

Despite these remarks, Wohl added that it is possible Murray might remain a free man until his sentencing.

HLN TV has been covering the entire trial within a live blog. At 5:09 p.m. ET/2:09 p.m. PT, Los Angeles District Attorney Steven Cooley said that a guilty verdict will result in an automatic suspension of Dr. Murray's medical license and the he hopes other states will follow California's lead.

Conrad Murray's defense attorneys have seen a wide array of media and public criticism on their stumbling performance during the trial, but when CNN's Alan Duke spoke exclusively with Ed Chernoff as he was leaving the courthouse he revealed a few of his goals and emotions after the verdict.

"What matters most right now is trying to keep Dr. Murray from taking up a prison cell in this community," Ed Chernoff said. "Thats what we're focusing on right and we'll deal with an appeal after that." When Duke asked him if he was shocked by the verdict he said, "No."
