The use of the nickname "Ketamine Queen" in the indictment of Jasveen Sangha, who is charged in connection to Matthew Perry's overdose, has sparked a legal debate. While the nickname is considered "strategic," it also risks unfairly prejudicing the jury. The case has brought attention to the prevalence of ketamine abuse in the US.
The tragic death of Matthew Perry has brought attention to the growing problem of ketamine abuse in the US. Ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic, has become increasingly popular as a recreational drug, despite its potential for serious health risks.
The indictment of Jasveen Sangha, who is known as the "Ketamine Queen," has ignited a legal debate over the use of nicknames in court. Sangha's attorney has criticized the prosecution for using the nickname, arguing that it unfairly prejudices the jury. However, legal experts say that the nickname can be admitted as evidence if it was used or embraced by the defendant.

Sangha is charged with providing the fatal dose of ketamine to Perry through her middleman, Erik Fleming, and Perry's assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa. Perry's autopsy revealed that he died from "acute effects of ketamine," with drowning, coronary artery disease, and buprenorphine effects listed as contributing factors.
The investigation into Perry's death has uncovered a network of individuals involved in the distribution of ketamine. Fleming and Iwamasa have pleaded guilty to their roles in the case and are cooperating with the prosecution.

The nickname "Ketamine Queen" suggests that Sangha was well known for providing illegal substances to others. Legal experts say that it indicates that she was a reliable source of ketamine among those who abuse prescription drugs.
Sangha's attorney has denied that she ever met Perry and maintains that she had no involvement in his death. However, the prosecution alleges that Sangha worked with Fleming and Iwamasa to cover up their involvement after Perry's death.
