'Our only son' - Matthew Perry's parents want lengthy sentence for doctor who supplied ketamine

Matthew Perry's parents have submitted victim impact statements to a court ahead of the sentencing of Dr. Salvador Plasencia, who illegally supplied the actor with ketamine prior to his fatal overdose in October 2023. Perry's family members expressed devastation over losing their "next patriarch" and condemned Plasencia for violating his medical oath by exploiting the actor's addiction for profit. Plasencia, who pleaded guilty to four counts of distributing ketamine, faces up to 40 years in prison though prosecutors are seeking three years, making him the first of five defendants to be sentenced in the federal investigation.
