Brown pleads not guilty
NORWICH – The highest-profile case to happen in Chenango County for nearly a decade found its way into the Chenango County Courthouse Wednesday afternoon.
Accused murderer Daniel Brown Sr. appeared in court before newly-appointed Broome County Court Judge Martin E. Smith to enter his plea of not guilty. Brown was being represented by John D. Cameron, but is now being represented by Alan E. Gordon; both are from the Public Defender’s Office.
Brown is accused of murdering and raping his apartment manager, Tammy L. Periard of Norwich, who was reported missing on Monday, March 26. Two days later, police arrested Brown and found Periard’s body in his Henry Street apartment.
Gordon made no request for bail, but did request that his client be allowed to appear for future court proceedings in civilian clothes instead of the standard issue “oranges” from the county jail. The judge ruled that Brown could appear in regular clothes for pre-trial hearings and for trial.
The defense now has 45 days to file motions and then the District Attorney’s Office will have about another month to respond.
Brown was remanded to the county jail pending his next court appearance.
Brown, 45, was indicted on two counts of first degree murder (Class A felony), second degree murder (Class A felony), first degree rape (Class B felony), first degree assault (Class B felony) and two counts of first degree robbery (Class B felony).
If convicted of first-degree murder, Brown faces life imprisonment without parole or a minimum of 20 to 25 years and a maximum of life imprisonment. Second-degree murder is punishable by a minimum of 15 years to life and a maximum of 25 years to life.
