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
