This article looks at some of the most talked-about celebrity trials of 2024, including the charges against Jasveen Sangha and Dr. Salvador Plasencia in connection with Matthew Perry's death and the reinstated involuntary manslaughter charges against Alec Baldwin in the 'Rust' shooting.
It’s been quite a year for celebrity trials around the country. From bombshell charges to new developments in decades-old cases, here are a few top headlines that had everyone talking in 2024. Matthew Perry Ketamine case The death of beloved 'Friends' actor Matthew Perry in 2023 led to an investigation into five defendants for charges connected with his fatal drug overdose, including San Diego-based doctor Mark Chavez who pled guilty to one count of conspiring to distribute ketamine.
However, the bigger focus is on Jasveen Sangha, a woman dubbed 'The Ketamine Queen' of North Hollywood, and a licensed physician, Dr. Salvador Plasencia of Santa Monica. They were among the ones being charged in an 18-count indictment including distribution of ketamine, among others. BRYAN KOHBERGER'S FIGHT AGAINST DEATH PENALTY GETS DAY IN COURT; EXPERT SKEPTICAL OF DEFENSE'S ARGUMENTS If found guilty, Sangha faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Plasencia faces up to 10 years in federal prison for each ketamine-related count and up to 20 years for each records falsification count. The two have a joint trial date set for March 4, 2025. Alec Baldwin 'Rust' trial Three years after the on-set, accidental fatal shooting of 'Rust' cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter case was dismissed. Prosecutors first charged Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter in January 2023 but later dismissed the charge a few months later in April. However, after a new gun analysis, Baldwin was charged once more following a grand jury indictment in January 2024 and pleaded not guilty. Meanwhile, 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was also charged with involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence. She was convicted on this former charge and acquitted on the latter in March 2024 and sentenced to 18 months in priso
