## Resource

Drug Counselor Sentenced in Matthew Perrys Overdose: A Tale of Betrayal and Redemption Erik Fleming, a former drug counselor, faces sentencing for distributing ketamine that led to Matthew Perrys overdose. Prosecutors seek two and a half years, while defense argues for three months in prison and nine months in rehab, citing Flemings turnaround. Fleming, who relapsed after losing his stepmom, sourced the drug from the Ketamine Queen and supplied it to Perry, a known addict. The case marks the fourth sentencing before Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett, with Perrys assistant up next. An auction of Perrys Friends gear will fund his foundation, keeping his anti-addiction fight alive. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
