Overview
- Jasveen Sangha appears for sentencing Wednesday in Los Angeles federal court after pleading guilty to supplying the ketamine, an anesthetic also used to treat depression, tied to Matthew Perry’s 2023 death.
- Prosecutors asked for a 15-year prison term, citing a high-volume drug operation, attempts to delete messages after news of Perry’s death, and recorded jail talk about trademarks and book rights.
- Defense lawyers seek a sentence of time served, pointing to her sobriety in custody, participation in recovery programs, strong community support, and no prior criminal record.
- Perry’s stepmother, Debbie Perry, filed a victim impact statement Monday urging the maximum punishment and describing the family’s pain as irreversible.
- Investigators say the supply chain ran from Sangha to a middleman and then to Perry’s assistant, who injected the actor; two doctors have already been sentenced, and the assistant and middleman are due for sentencing later in April.
