Dr Mark Chavez, 54, of San Diego, did not enter a plea but has already agreed to admit his guilty in a deal with prosecutors.
One of two doctors charged in connection with Matthew Perry’s death made his first appearance in a federal court in Los Angeles on Friday after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors.
Dr Mark Chavez is surrounded by members of the media as he arrives at the Roybal Federal Courthouse in Los Angeles Also working with the US Attorney’s Office are Perry’s assistant, who admitted to helping him obtain and inject ketamine, and a Perry acquaintance, who admitted to acting as a drug messenger and middleman.The three are helping prosecutors as they go after their main targets: Dr Salvador Plasencia, charged with illegally selling ketamine to Perry in the month before his death; and Jasveen Sangha, a woman who authorities say is a dealer who sold the actor the lethal dose of ketamine.
After selling the drugs to Perry for 4,500 US dollars , Plasencia asked Chavez if he could keep supplying them so they could become Perry’s “go-to”. Perry struggled with addiction for years, dating back to his time on Friends, when he became one of the biggest stars of his generation as Chandler Bing.
