Doctor's Sentencing in Matthew Perry Ketamine Case

A doctor is set to be sentenced for illegally selling ketamine to Matthew Perry, the famous 'Friends' actor, before his tragic overdose death. Dr. Salvador Plasencia pleaded guilty to selling large amounts of the drug to Perry, knowing he was struggling with addiction.

Prosecutors are asking for a three-year prison sentence for the doctor. Perry's family may speak in court about how this affected them. The doctor admitted that he exploited Perry's vulnerability for profit, which goes against his duty as a medical professional.

Plasencia's lawyers argue that he has already lost his medical license and career, and his family has had to move due to threats. They claim prison time is unnecessary. The doctor expressed remorse, calling it the biggest mistake of his life.

This case highlights the serious consequences of drug abuse and the responsibility of medical professionals in dealing with addiction.
