Doctor Who Supplied Matthew Perry Ketamine And Called Him A ‘Moron’ Is Set To Enter Guilty Plea
HuffPost
The medical examiner ruled that ketamine, typically used as a surgical anesthetic, was Perry's primary cause of death.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A doctor charged with giving Matthew Perry ketamine in the weeks leading up to the “Friends” star’s overdose death is expected to plead guilty Wednesday.
Dr. Salvador Plasencia would be the fourth of five people charged in connection with Perry’s death to plead guilty.
Plasencia was to have gone on trial in August until the doctor agreed last month to plead guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine, according to the signed document filed in federal court in Los Angeles.
He had previously pleaded not guilty, but in exchange for the guilty pleas prosecutors have agreed to drop three additional counts of distribution of ketamine and two counts of falsifying records.
Plasencia’s attorneys emphasized in an email after he reached his agreement that he “was not treating Matthew Perry at the time of his death and the ketamine that caused Mr. Perry’s death was not provided by Dr. Plasencia.”
