Matthew Perry’s death trial to be held in March 2025

They face several decades in prison.

Investigation into the death of the star of Friends accelerates. After the arrests last month, an official date has already been set for the trial of Jasveen Sangha, known as the “Queen of Ketamine,” as well as Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who was one of the actor’s doctors. Both are accused of providing Matthew Perry the drugs that led to his overdose on October 28, 2023.

If convicted, both defendants face decades in prison. Sangha and Plasencia have pleaded not guilty so far.

U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada wrote in legal documents that Sangha and Dr. Salvador Plasencia “took advantage of the dependency problems of Matthew Perry to get rich“.

U.S. District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett didn’t waste any time in setting the two’s joint trial for March 4, 2025.

“If convicted on all charges, Sangha faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison and a maximum sentence of life in prison. Plasencia faces up to 10 years in federal prison for each ketamine-related count and up to 20 years in federal prison for each count of falsifying records.” U.S. Attorney Estrada’s office detailed in a statement.

Let us remember that Kenneth Iwamasapersonal assistant of Matthew Perry and an acquaintance of Perry, Erik Flemingwere also arrested last August. They will be heard by the judge in two months and will not be tried with the other two.
