A woman charged with selling Matthew Perry the dose of ketamine that killed him is headed for a September trial. Jasveen Sangha's trial the only one forthcoming in the death of the Friends star after four other defendants reached plea agreements with prosecutors is now set to begin September 23 after an order Tuesday from a federal judge in Los Angeles.
