California: Jackson Doctor Is Expected To Surrender.

A lawyer for the doctor who was treating Michael Jackson at the time of his death said Thursday that the doctor planned to surrender to face charges. ''We are presently negotiating with the District Attorneys' office,'' Ed Chernoff, a lawyer for Dr. Conrad Murray, said in a statement. What charges the doctor would face and when were unclear -- a spokeswoman for District Attorney Steve Cooley said there would be no comment unless the case went forward. Dr. Murray, 57, has maintained through his lawyer that nothing he gave Mr. Jackson should have caused his death. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
