The L.A. County District Attorney's Office has told Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyers they will call just before Dr. Murray is charged with the death of Michael Jackson and a surrender will take place almost immediately thereafter ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
Our sources say ... as of 8:35 AM PT, the D.A. has not made the call.
As we reported yesterday, Dr. Murray planned to surrender today and appear in arraignment court after being charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson. The ball is in the D.A.'s court.
Dr. Murray is waiting.

Definitely 2nd degree murder. How could anyone have done that to such a gentle, beautiful man? What a tragedy.

Thanks for staying on the ball TMZ--you're the only ones giving up to the minute updates on the case, and us MJ fans really appreciate it.
Luv you MJ. Rest in Peace my angel.

I wonder if they will handcuff Murray and release his mugshot to the worlds press. After all, thats what they did to MJ. Something tells me that Murray will be afforded the dignity which MJ was denied. Where's the justice?
They were in it for the money
I don't care what anyone says thats pro Dr.
He could have just said Aw Hell No and put Michael in Rehab if he cared enough about humanity and looked past the glory of the icon. I don't care if Michael begged, if Michael threatened the Dr. He should have held his ground and either walked out or sign Michael into Rehab. There is aboslutely no excuse for what happened except the want for money and to ride the crest of the life that was Michael Jackson. Dumb azz fool jerk of a Dr.

6. YEAH It's about time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make that call!!!!!!!!!! But I think it should have been 2nd Degree Murder. He as a doctor knows wht he is doing and the side effects and the results of mixing all those medications together and within a short period of time of one another. It does not take a Rocket Scientist to know that. Most meds are only supposed to be taken every 4, 6 or 8 hours and nevcer more then the recommended amount. And not mixing them all either. Plus he tried to cover it up and Michael was dead long before he called 911. He's a LIAR and a MURDERER and should be prosecuted!!!!!!!!!!! Hell just inject him with all the meds he gave MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!!!

No matter if/when he is prosecuted..MJ is still gone. Long Live the King. So very sad. This isn't the first time a doctor was negligent and failed to adhere to the "standard of care/duty". I hope finally they are held accountable. Look at what happened with Anna Nicole Smith. Howard Stern and all her doctors are STILL walking around. So much for swift justice.

We love you Dr. Murray! We will stand with you and never abandon you. Thank you for stopping the rape of children! Thank you for protecting the innocent!

I will present the facts and ""THE GOOD DOCTOR"" will not go to jail.Mr Jackson used prpofol for years before he reached out for help from my client.What happen at the HOLMBY HOUSE started at NEVERLAND and my client was ""NEVER AT NEVER LAND YES NEVER""

THIS DOCTOR SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH SECOND DEGREE MURDER BECAUSE HE WAS NEGLIGENCE AND HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. HE KEPT GIVING MICHAEL JACKSON THOSE DRUGS WHEN HE IS SUPPOSE TO BE ONE THAT SAVES LIVES NOT TAKE A LIFE OR LIVES. THE DA NEEDS TO CHANGE THE CHARGE TO SECOND DEGREE MURDER. THIS DOCTOR MIGHT NOT HAVE USED A GUN, KNIFE BUT HE USED A MORE POWERFUL LETHAL WEAPON THAT KILLED ANTOHER HUMAN BEING. SO THIS IS IN MY OPINION IS MURDER. IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL WAY FOR SOMEONE TO KILL SOMEONE ELSE. HOPE THE JACKSONS FIGHT TO HAVE THE CHARGE CHANGE FROM MANSLAUGHTER TO MURDER LIKE THEY WANT. ITS JUST LIKE THAT ATTORNEY SAID THIS MORNING ON THE EARLY SHOW THIS IS JUST A SLAP ON THE WRIST. WHAT KIND OF JUSTICE IS THIS HE COMMITTED A CRIME JUST LIKE SOMEONE ELSE DOES WHO TAKES ANOTHERS LIFE. IF HE DON'T GET CHARGED WITH WHAT THE JACKSONS WANT THEN WHY DO WE HAVE A JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THIS COUNTRY AT ALL. THIS JUSTICE SYSTEM IS LETTING TO MANY MURDERERS GO FREE AND OTHER CRIMINALS BY GIVING THEM A SLAP ON THE WRIST. WE THE FANS NEED TO PROTEST IF MURRAY ONLY GETS MANSLAUGHTER. WE NEED TO DO IT FOR MICHAEL AND HIS CHILDREN. THIS JERK IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE HIS CHILDREN GRADUATE, GO TO THEIR BIRTHDAYS, WEDDINGS AND HAVE HOLIDAYS WITH HIS CHILDREN BUT MICHAEL WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO DO THAT AGAIN WITH HIS CHILDREN. THIS DOCTOR IS SICK AND HAS THE DEVIL IN HIM. PRAY GOD WILL MAKE SURE THE DA CHANGES THE CHARGE AND THE DOCTOR IS PUT IN PRISON FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

Courageous people often have to pay a high price. They know this and that is precisely what makes them courageous. Dr. Murray knew that by eliminating Jacko the child rapist, he would save many innocent children from abuse. He also knew that he'd face a stiff penalty, but he chose to do the right thing nevertheless.
That, my friends, is courage.
Dr. Murray, you are a hero for what you have done. You did the right thing and I hope you will always find contentment and solace in that.

The lawyers for DR M will get him off.MJ begging for drugs set up a complete machine system of enablers to get illegal drugs.Years of building this system of Doctors and staff to mail order drugs.DR M had nothing to do with this elaborate system of illegal drugs.
MOLLY(:
HE AINT DEAD.
