The addition of the nickname “risks unfairly prejudicing the jury,” but the move was “strategic,” Harvey Weinstein’s former defense lawyer Duncan Levin told News.
Jasveen Sangha, who was charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine, was dubbed the “Ketamine Queen” in several court documents pertaining to the case. She was additionally charged with one count of keeping a drug-related establishment, one count of possessing methamphetamine with the intent to distribute, one count of possessing ketamine with the intent to distribute, and five counts of ketamine distribution.
Sangha’s attorneys refuted any notion that Sangha ever knew Perry, who passed away on October 28th, allegedly from a ketamine overdose.
Mark Geragos, Sangha’s attorney, told news that his client “never met Matthew Perry, has nothing to do with Matthew Perry, and all the supposed rumors otherwise are just that, urban legend.”
The U.S. Attorney’s Office was called “Ketamine Queen” in the indictment against Sangha, a move that angered Geragos.
