Matthew Perry's Ketamine Middleman Pushes for Lenient Sentence
- Erik Fleming requests leniency in Matthew Perry case, seeking 30 months in prison, a nine‑month treatment program, and three years of supervised release.
- Prosecutors say Fleming acted as a middleman and would have continued ketamine sales if Perry had not died.
- The sentencing hearing is set for May 13, with families' letters cited in defenses and appeals for accountability.
- Matthew Perry died in October 2023 from the acute effects of ketamine, per the medical examiner's ruling.
- Fleming’s defense argues he was not acting as a medical professional and should not be treated as such.
- Jasveen Sangha, dubbed the 'Ketamine Queen,' was sentenced earlier this month in connection with Perry's death.
- Perry's death occurred at his Los Angeles-area home in October 2023, according to TMZ's coverage.
- Fleming reportedly admitted wrongdoing in a court document and expressed remorse.
- Prosecutors argued Fleming brokered drug deals for profit and could have earned more from ketamine sales.
