As reported by AP, Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett told Jasveen Sangha, "You’re going to have to show some epic resilience," echoing Sangha’s earlier remarks about her efforts at self-improvement.
Considering Sangha’s admitted role in Matthew Perry's death and her wider drug-dealing operation, the 42-year-old was given a sentence likely longer than that of all four of her co-defendants combined.
