Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jersey and Amanda gem.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Nation I Entertainment. Emma Gillespie, the editor in chief at
The Daily Oz, is here in a California doctor is
accused of giving Friends to Matthew Perry access to ketamine.
Is now in big trouble. Yeah, so you might remember
there's a whole ring of people involved in the death
of Matthew Perry, the Friends actor who was tragically found
dead in his La home in October twenty twenty three.
(00:25):
The coroner ruled that he had died from the effects
of ketamine. He died in his jacuzzi, And basically there's
this whole ring of people around him who facilitated his
access to copious amounts of ketamine. Now, one of the
key doctors in this ring, he is the biggest player
so far to reach a plea deal, has agreed to
plead guilty to four charges relating to supplying ketamine to
(00:49):
Matthew Perry. Now this guy was there was some really
incriminating evidence surrounding him. I don't know if you remember.
There were some text messages that were leaked that showed
he had texted another applier saying this guy is a moron.
Let's see how much he'll pay, and the Department of
Justice in the US essentially said that, you know, he
had a fixation on seeing how much he could exploit
(01:11):
Matthew Perry and had no care for his well being.
This guy was a doctor. He ran an urgent care
clinic in Malibu in LA so he was legit for
all intents and purposes.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
But he was providing him not just that one dose
that killed him, but leading up to it had been
his providing.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
So he'd been in his life only for a month
in the lead up to his death. But basically he
was giving him as much ketamine as he would pay for.
So Matthew Perry was actually being prescribed ketamine for depression.
It's a form of treatment resistant depression treat so there's
some trials going on here in Australia. It is seen
as a successful way to treat depression in a small
(01:50):
amount of people in the village. A horse tranquilizer. It's
an anesthetic. It's used in hospitals in anesthesia.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
But he's nil Musk's system.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yes, very prominent.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
He the doctor who prescribed it for his depression. Isn't
this doctor who's providing it.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
No, So he had a legit script, but that was
for a very small amount, essentially microdosing when used for depression.
But this doctor sort of took that and ran with
it as an excuse to kind of access above board ketamine,
but was giving it to him in cobious amounts. He
met him in a car park at a certain point
and injected him. He trained up his assistant on how
(02:26):
to inject him when the doctor wasn't around. And he
also connected Matthew Perry to the ketamine queen, who is
this other person who is the big player in this case.
She hasn't reached a plea deal yet, but she is
kind of the underground drug dealer of this story. But
even with this plea deal, this guy, his name is
doctor Salvador Placentia. He's looking at forty years behind bars
(02:49):
even with this deal. So we're not going to know
how he's going to be sentenced until a little bit
later on in the year, but he's certainly facing a
huge amount of time behind bars, surfacing a two million
dollar fine, and it's stripped of his Michael Jackson's doctor. Yeah,
but the thing that reminds me of the Michael Jackson
stuff is that so many sort of people who seem
(03:10):
legit that.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
All work and exploits, and so there's a whole lot
of other people who were yet to face trial as well.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yes, so four out of the five people charged over
Matthew Perry's death have now agreed to a plea deal,
So there's not going to be any trials for them,
but we will see a trial for this so called
ketamine queen that's you to start later in the year.
But whether or not she'll kind of feel the heat
from these other plea deals and maybe agree to plead guilty.
(03:38):
So far she's steadfastly pleading not guilty. But there's just
so much evidence and all of these four others who
have agreed to plead guilty, they have supplied this other
evidence that it's going to be pretty tough for this
one remaining person.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
So if you take a plea deal, there is no
trial exactly, so you forfeit your right to a trial.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
But the idea is that a judge will look favorably
upon your decision to kind of.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Still give you forty years sucker.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, yeah, And it's it's up to the charges at
their discretion. They could go the full forty probably they
won't because plea deal. But we'll have to wait and see.
I think we'll know a little bit more, probably September
October this year. To stick with Amanda's good doctor doctor Linderman.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Oh and doctor Skold. They both come on holiday.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
And doctor Linderman. That's all a girl needs. No kentermine,
Queen M. Thank you. It's veteran chief of the Daily
OS M. Gillespie
