>> reporter: yeah. according to a source they are settling up an arraignment at the lax courthouse near the airport for dr. conrad murray. that said, his legal team hasn't made an official announcement as to a specific plan and the district attorney's office in los angeles still has said nothing about a, charges or, b, a possible surrender. dr. murray is in los angeles along with his h legal team since last friday. the legal team arrived and have been basically waiting for this eventually surrender to authorities to answer to charges in connection to the death of michael jackson. what we can report now is that tentatively friday afternoon they are getting ready for an arraignment here at the lax courthouse in los angeles. >> so, ted, i keep reading they are negotiating a surrender. what does that equate to? maybe a deal being made behind closed doors? what exactly are they negotiating? >> basically, the legal team for murray really doesn't want to see their client in handcuffs with lapd around him and have that replayed over and over in the media. what they are desperately hoping is that the district attorney's office will play ball with them, allow him to surrender at a courthouse. now, when you say "negotiate" all of the cards are with the district attorney's office on this. what they are discussing, whether or not the legal team is going to be afforded the opportunity to just surrender or if they will have to go to a police station first and have him arrested. that sounds like it's still being worked out. i talked to a member of the legal team this morning. they are frustrated, a bit. they perceive that this might be for a classic l.a. show to parade their client in front of the cameras in handcuffs. they are trying to avoid it and hope they can bring him to this courthouse when they are told to do so. >> all righty. hey, ted. there's been a lot of development there, so thank you very much for taking the time to get us informed. we appreciate it. >> you bet. >> sure. new charges against haleigh cummings former step-mother. the two new drug charges against misty croslin and ronald cummings were both busted accused of selling prescription drugs to an undercover detective. there is video you see here of croslin's parents visiting her in jail. last night on hln's nancy grace, we get an idea of her life behind bars. >> haleigh cummings disappeared nearly a year ago. croslin was babysitting her at the time. the bond was increased to $1 million because of the new charges filed yesterday. all righty. we are talking about graduation rates here. i don't know if you have heard about this yet, but talking about high school graduation and specifically we want to ask you a question about this. want to know -- are schools dumbing down the curriculum? here's why we ask. usa today reports last month pennsylvania dropped comprehensive exams that thousands of students were failing. the paper says both arkansas and ohio as well as other states set passing grades for some classes below 40% and it says in some years, new jersey has graduated nearly 15% of students who failed their exit exams. another 24 states don't use end-of-course or graduation exams at all. so we're hoping you can weigh in on this for us. are there flaws, do you think, in the system, or are we requiring less from kids to graduate?
