Overview
- Suzanne Perry read an emotional victim impact statement in court Wednesday that blamed Kenneth Iwamasa for aiding her son’s addiction and criticized his conduct after Matthew Perry’s death.
- Kenneth Iwamasa has pleaded guilty in the federal case and is scheduled to be sentenced on May 27 for his role in obtaining and administering ketamine linked to the actor’s death.
- Prosecutors allege Iwamasa arranged sources of ketamine and injected Perry, and the medical examiner ruled the cause of death was the acute effects of ketamine with drowning and other factors listed as contributors.
- Several co‑defendants have already pleaded guilty and been sentenced, including Jasveen Sangha to 15 years, Dr. Salvador Plasencia to 30 months, Erik Fleming to two years, and Dr. Mark Chavez to house arrest.
- The family’s statements stress that trusted aides were expected to guard Perry in his fight with addiction and signal that the upcoming sentencing could shape how the law treats nonmedical suppliers in fatal drug cases.
