LOS ANGELES - The main doctor charged in connection with the drug overdose of American-Canadian actor and "Friends" star Matthew Perry is expected to enter a guilty plea in the coming weeks, the US Justice Department said Monday.
Salvador Plasencia "has agreed to plead guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine, which carries a statutory maximum sentence of 40 years in federal prison," the department said in a statement.
