More than a dozen television news vans and satellite trucks are lining a courthouse parking lot, in anticipation of the surrender of Michael Jackson’s doctor.

News crews began setting up operations at dawn Monday at the Los Angeles International Airport Courthouse, placing cameras along the entire entrance.

Meanwhile, Dr. Conrad Murray’s lawyer posted a brief statement on his Web site, saying the physician planned to surrender to authorities at the courthouse at 1:30 p.m. PST.

Murray’s lawyers have said they expect the doctor to be charged with a single count of involuntary manslaughter for administering a powerful anesthetic to Jackson before he died.
