'Those Greedy Jackals': Matthew Perry's Parents Condemn Son's Doctor
Perry’s parents accuse the doctor of exploiting their son’s addiction by providing ketamine without medical purpose and urge a longer sentence to reflect his culpability.
- Recently, Matthew Perry's parents submitted a furious letter to the US district court expressing grief over his death and urging the judge to extend the doctor's sentence beyond the mandatory time.
- Allegations from Perry's family describe secret nighttime meetings and repeated breaches of medical vows, claiming Dr Salvador Plasencia injected and sold ketamine without a legitimate medical purpose, conspiring with Jasveen Sangha, Kenneth Iwamasa, Erik Fleming, and Dr Mark Chavez.
- In July, Dr Salvador Plasencia, 44, pleaded guilty to four counts of distribution and admitted illegally selling large amounts of ketamine earlier this year, facing up to 40 years.
- Prosecutors are asking Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett to sentence Dr Salvador Plasencia to three years in prison, while Plasencia's lawyers argue a prison term is 'neither necessary nor warranted' since he lost his licence and career.
- Amid upcoming sentencing dates, the medical examiner ruled Perry's death was due to ketamine-related drowning; Jasveen Sangha faces sentencing on 10 December, Dr Mark Chavez on 17 December, with Kenneth Iwamasa and Erik Fleming due in January.
