crazy how they can still work as of now and just needs to warn their patients they're being investigated. Like I'm sure the patients could care less when they're addicts and already aware of the investigation.

This seems utterly senseless to me. If the doctors are being charged with a possible murder, they should immediately have their licenses revoked or suspended at least. But hey, what do I know what really goes on in California? Glad I don't live

[premipillay-suzannasgold]

How could they have done this to him?No conscience.

[jwillow]

matthew birthday today 😢 Matthew said in his book Ketamine wasn't for him

[jarodstein]

If this were someone who is not famous there would be no punishments

[abgzulkifli]

Crazy things, there are millions of people watching, anything happen you know...

[justwastingmytime]

Iwamasa kinda killed Perry too, right?

[joshbshadowcommunity]

Absolutely absurd. All should be held accountable for their involvement. Vultures posed as those who help people.

[kforest]

I can look at any one of these faces and not a single one of them is an individual. Naturally, he associated with the wrong people.

[PrivateInformation-xnml]

Theyll all get off...the drug companies fund their defense...and by the way, where were all his "FRIENDS"....

[kittyviveen]

and this was all about money for them. Like with Elvis, Prince, Heath Ledger, etc. etc. They don't care. Just the money.

5 people if Matt were a live he’d be the 6th an nobody in media were depict him as some type of hero a guy that was treated badly. It used because he was dead if not they would call him a drug addict an a criminal

[patriciaevans]

Should not be any plea deals….the other doc shouldn’t be able to continue in his practice….just goes to show how lenient our laws are….they are much more for the criminals….then with plea deals I think a lot of times the most serious charge is dropped or reduced to a much lesser charge…..they get to pretty much choose their own punishment or a punishment which is better for them. They’ll probably get probation.

Perry's Ketamine death further spotlights the absurd verdict in, "Take Care of Maya" case that resulted from Maya's mother insisting John Hopkin's provide lethal doses.

[terrigross]

But isnt this just the American Republican mantra?….Everybody for themselves, profit over people, doesn’t matter how you get rich as long as you are rich…

[brynneholt]

Matthew Perry is responsible for Matthew Perry’s death, first and foremost.

[paulchapman]

His family and very so called friends should also be charged

[anneleonard]

It's John Belushi all over again--

[mariusmarius]

So he has no responsibility for taking the drug...once an addict always an addict.

[banshee]

Why is the assistant charged? If he was just doing what was asked of him as part of his job.
