Doctor Charged in Matthew Perry Case Pleads Guilty

One of the doctors charged in connection with Matthew Perry's ketamine death is one step closer to prison ... because he just copped to a crime.

Transcript

00:00There's a development in the Matthew Perry death case. So, you know, two doctors have been charged

00:06With supplying him with this ketamine illegally

00:11One of them, Dr. Mark Chavez, just copped a plea. So he has pled guilty

00:16But in return and obviously he's looking for a lighter sentence if he's sentenced at all

00:23He has agreed to cooperate

00:26With the feds in the prosecution of the remaining two people. Five people were charged

00:32Three have now pled guilty, copped pleas. Right. And now there are two people left. The Ketamine Queen. The Ketamine Queen and Dr. Placentia

00:41Dr. Placentia, in case you don't remember, is the one who sent Dr. Chavez the text saying

00:48How much will this moron pay for ketamine?

00:52I think that is why he has become a big fish for the feds and I think that's why

01:00that Mark Chavez

01:02Was able to get a plea bargain from the feds because they want to go after this guy for that comment.

01:09Because it's so callous. It's so callous. And this is bad news and tell me if I'm wrong Harvey

01:13This is bad news for Placentia here because like you said Chavez is going to cooperate

01:18You would think he would know everything that was going on

01:21I mean, these guys were allegedly plotting together to get every dollar they could out of Matthew. Yeah

01:25Yeah, I'm a Babcock here. When I saw this happen, I'm thinking what is Dr. Placentia gonna say to defend himself?

01:32Considering the fact that he's pleading not guilty and the guy on the receiving end of this damning text is now pleading guilty

01:39I mean, what is Placentia and his attorney gonna come up with to try to get him off the hook?

01:43They've got now three other people who have all turned fed states witness and

01:49They're gonna go after the ketamine Queen and dr. Placentia. So I think they're in a heap of trouble by the way

01:56We have a documentary that dropped recently on Hulu

02:00called Matthew Perry and the secret celebrity drug ring and I got to tell you if you

02:06Want to be shocked at how Hollywood works with drugs watch this documentary

02:13I've been here from Long Island

02:14And I believe that March that was his guilty plea is certainly a step in the right direction here

02:20Oftentimes we've heard this story before in Hollywood where a celebrity dies of an untimely death

02:25But we rarely see their perpetrators stepping forward and taking accountability

02:29And I think that this shows a clear pivot in Hollywood's accountability level for sure

02:35Yeah

02:35the problem is does it stick or do people get scared for a while and then it comes back to the way it used to

02:41Be and that's what's happened in the past. Yep
