"Jasveen Sangha pleaded guilty to five federal charges, including providing the ketamine that led to Perry's death. Her trial had been planned to start later this month. She is the fifth and final defendant charged in Perry's overdose death to admit guilt. Perry's mother, Suzanne Perry, and his stepfather, Dateline reporter Keith Morrison, sat in the audience. It was their first time attending court proceedings since the announcement of the indictments one year ago."
"Wearing tan jail clothing, Sangha stood in court on Wednesday next to her lawyer, Mark Geragos, as she repeated "guilty" five times as US district court judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett asked for her pleas. Before that she answered "yes, your honour" to dozens of procedural questions, hedging slightly when the judge asked if she knew the drugs she was giving to co-defendant and middleman Erik Fleming were going to Perry."
Jasveen Sangha pleaded guilty to five federal charges for supplying ketamine that contributed to Matthew Perry's death. She admitted one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death. Sangha is the fifth and final defendant to plead guilty. She answered procedural questions in court and hesitated when asked whether drugs given to co-defendant Erik Fleming were destined for Perry. Sangha is a dual US-UK citizen whom prosecutors described as a prolific dealer nicknamed the "Ketamine Queen". Perry's mother and stepfather attended the hearing.
