A physician convicted of selling ketamine to actor Matthew Perry and receiving a 30-month prison term is now appealing the judgment. The doctor’s defense team argues that he was acting as a drug dealer and not fulfilling his medical duties when he supplied the substance to Perry. The defense contends that the doctor, who pleaded guilty to four counts of ketamine distribution, should not have been penalized more severely than his co-defendants based on his professional status. They assert that the doctor’s medical credentials were not a significant factor in the drug crimes committed. Perry, known for his role as Chandler Bing in “Friends,” tragically passed away at 54 from a ketamine overdose. The court documents reveal that the doctor admitted to distributing ketamine vials to Perry and his assistant in the days leading up to the actor’s death. Perry’s assistant was sentenced to prison for his involvement in the tragic incident.
