Plasencia is now the fourth of five individuals charged in connection with the case to plead guilty. Three other co-defendants — including Perry’s personal assistant and two others — previously pleaded guilty and are cooperating with prosecutors. None have been sentenced.
Asked whether his legal team had fully reviewed his options, Plasencia replied, “They’ve considered everything.” He spoke only to answer procedural questions during the brief court appearance, per the AP.
Prosecutors clarified in court that the physician did not supply the specific dose that killed Perry. However, the government accused Plasencia of providing Perry with large quantities of ketamine during the month leading up to his death and of continuing to provide the drug even after adverse effects became evident.
Perry, 54, was found dead in his Los Angeles home. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner ruled ketamine toxicity as the primary cause of death.
Plasencia acknowledged that he enlisted another physician, Dr. Mark Chavez, to obtain some of the drugs he'd provided to Perry.
After charging Perry $4,500 for the drugs, Plasencia allegedly asked Chavez to continue the supply chain so they could become Perry’s “go-to,” prosecutors said.
The only remaining defendant in the case is Jasveen Sangha, who prosecutors allege is the drug dealer known as the “Ketamine Queen.”
Sangha is accused of providing the lethal dose that killed Perry. Sangha has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to go to trial next month.
