00:01A drug dealer dubbed the Ketamine Queen was sentenced on Wednesday to 15 years in prison
00:07in connection with the fatal overdose of Friends star Matthew Perry, including her role in supplying
00:12the dose of the powerful anesthetic that killed the actor. Jasveen Sangha, who admitted to running
00:18a stash house for illegal narcotics out of her home in the North Hollywood District of Los Angeles,
00:24pleaded guilty in September to five felony drug counts stemming from Perry's 2023 death. Sangha,
00:3142, a dual U.S.-British citizen, had faced a sentence of up to 65 years in prison. U.S. District
00:39Judge
00:39Sherilyn Garnett imposed a 15-year sentence, harsher than the penalties received by any of her four
00:45co-defendants in the case, including two physicians. My first reaction is I'm bitterly disappointed.
00:52I, um, if you weren't in the courtroom, the argument is, is there's no way that Jasveen
01:00is five times more culpable than the person who injected Matthew Perry with the drug or the doctor
01:08who got the drug. Uh, to me, it's absurd in the literal meaning of the word. And if this is
01:16what
01:16the criminal justice system or the theory of crime and punishment is, uh, that the dealer should get
01:27five times as much as the person who injects the drug, who is there, uh, to take care of somebody,
01:36then maybe I've been practicing too long. Perry was found by his live-in personal assistant
01:42floating face down and lifeless in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home on October 28, 2023. He was
01:5054.
01:50He was 54.
