Charges to be filed in Jackson death; physician to surrender
By Alan Duke, CNN
February 8, 2010 10:52 a.m. EST
Dr. Conrad Murray told authorities he administered sleep aids to Michael Jackson.
* DA's office in L.A. doesn't say what the charges would be or who would be charged
* Attorney for Dr. Conrad Murray says he expects his client will be charged
* Murray was Michael Jackson's personal physician when the singer died on June 25
* Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, will discuss the case tonight at 9 ET on "Larry King Live"
Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Dr. Conrad Murray, personal physician to Michael Jackson, will surrender to authorities Monday afternoon, his attorneys said.
Murray will turn himself in at a courthouse at 1:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. ET), they said in a written statement.
Los Angeles County prosecutors have said criminal charges related to Jackson's death last summer would be filed Monday. Prosecutors have not said who would be charged or what the charges would be, but Murray's attorneys have said he expected to be charged.
Charges originally were expected to be filed last Friday, but they were delayed because prosecutors and Murray's chief defense lawyer, Ed Chernoff, failed to reach agreement on a surrender deal for the doctor, a law enforcement source with detailed knowledge of the talks said.
A surrender -- in which a defendant turns himself in at a police station for booking -- would allow the doctor to avoid being seen in public handcuffed and escorted by police.
"An arrest of Dr. Murray would be a waste of money, time and resources," Chernoff said last week. "We've always made it clear: You tell us where; we'll be there."
The doctor traveled to Los Angeles at the end of January from his home in Houston, Texas, in expectation of possible charges, his lawyer said.
Murray used part of his time last week to visit the pop star's resting place in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.
Murray, a cardiologist, was hired as Jackson's personal physician last spring as the singer prepared for comeback concerts in London, England.
The doctor told Los Angeles police that he was with Jackson at his $100,000-a-month rented Holmby Hills mansion through the early morning of June 25, 2009, in an effort to help the pop star fall asleep, according to a police affidavit.
He administered sleep aids, and after Jackson finally began sleeping late in the morning, Murray said, he left the bedroom for "about two minutes maximum," the affidavit says.
"Upon his return, Murray noticed that Jackson was no longer breathing," it says.
The doctor stayed with Jackson as an ambulance rushed him to UCLA Medical Center.
Efforts at CPR proved fruitless, and Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m.
The Los Angeles County coroner ruled Jackson's death a homicide, resulting from a combination of drugs, primarily propofol and lorazepam.
The coroner's statement said Jackson died from "acute propofol intoxication," but there were "other conditions contributing to death: benzodiazepine effect." Lorazepam and two other drugs Murray said he used are benzodiazepines.
The doctor told investigators he had given Jackson three anti-anxiety drugs to help him sleep in the hours before he stopped breathing, a police affidavit said.
Murray had been treating Jackson for insomnia for six weeks at the time of the singer's death. The doctor told investigators he gave Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol, the generic name for Diprivan, diluted with the anesthetic lidocaine every night via an intravenous drip.
The doctor told police he was worried that Jackson was becoming addicted to the drug and tried to wean him off it.
During the two nights before Jackson's death, Murray said, he put together combinations of other drugs that succeeded in helping Jackson sleep.

Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray expected to be charged this morning
February 8, 2010 | 7:17 am
After days of delays, L.A. prosecutors are expected to file a criminal case against Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, in connection with the pop star's death.
Charges would cap an eight-month police investigation into the circumstances of Jackson's death,
There was intense speculation that Murray would be charged Friday -- and for a while, his attorneys said he'd show up to court even if he were not charged.
On Friday around noon, the district attorney's office said a case pertaining to Jackson's death will be filed at that courthouse, but did not name Murray or specify the charges. Numerous sources with knowledge of the case said the cardiologist will be charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with administering the combination of sedatives and anesthetic blamed in the singer's June death.
Prosecutors originally planned to file the case Friday, according to law enforcement sources, who said the case was delayed after a dispute arose with Murray's defense team Thursday over the details of his surrender.
Murray, who owns a home in Nevada and works in Houston, has been staying in the Los Angeles area as he awaits charges. Through his attorney, the doctor has said he wants to turn himself in rather than be arrested and has made arrangements for surrender, including gathering his passport and meeting with bail-bond companies.
But how bail should be set became a sticking point during negotiations between prosecutors and the defense, according to two law enforcement sources and Murray's lawyer, Ed Chernoff.
Murray acknowledged to police that he gave Jackson an intravenous dose of the powerful anesthetic propofol shortly before his death, according to court documents. The drug is intended for use in operating rooms by anesthesiologists. Murray told police the singer had a long history of using the drug to sleep, and Murray was trying to wean Jackson from it the week he died, the documents state.
