Like nearly everything surrounding Jackson's death, timing of the charges -- and whether Murray will be allowed to surrender -- has become a spectacle

Michael Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, is negotiating with prosecutors on plans to surrender to face charges related to Jackson's death, his attorney said Thursday. A law enforcement source told CNN that Murray would be arraigned at the courthouse near the Los Angeles International Airport at 1:30 p.m. PT (4:30 p.m. ET) Friday.
