The final sentencing in the 2 1/2-year investigation and prosecution following the drug death of Matthew Perry will be of the personal assistant who sat at the center of the entire affair, buying the ketamine that would cause the death of the “Friends” star and injecting him with the lethal dose. Kenneth Iwamasa, 60, is set to be sentenced Wednesday in the Los Angeles federal courtroom of Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett, who has sentenced four of his co-defendants in the past year. He was the first of them to reach a deal with prosecutors, pleading guilty in August 2024 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine resulting in death.
