Ramsaran remanded on $500,000 cash bail; $1 million property bond
NORWICH – Ganesh Remy Ramsaran, 38, of New Berlin, indicted on one count of second degree murder – a class A-I felony – in connection with the murder of his wife, Jennifer L. Ramsaran, was arraigned Tuesday in Chenango County Court at approximately 9 a.m. and subsequently remanded to the Chenango County Correctional Facility on $500,000 cash bail or $1 million in property bonds.
During a previous arraignment following his initial arrest, Ramsaran’s bail had been set at $150,000 cash bail or $300,000 in property bonds. Ramsaran posted the required property bond shortly thereafter and was released from the correctional facility.
Approximately 30 individuals donned blue attire and attended the arraignment on Tuesday in a display of support for family members of Jennifer’s who were also present for the proceeding.
“The defendant has now been indicted and is facing 25 years to life if convicted,” said District Attorney Joseph McBride during Tuesday’s arraignment proceeding. McBride went on to point out that Ramsaran had been born outside of the country and holds an enhanced driver license allowing him to leave the United States, which led to the district attorney’s request that Ramsaran be remanded without bail.
In response, F. Stanton Ackerman, a senior partner at Albany-based Ackerman, Wachs & Finton P.C. – retained by Ramsaran approximately four days before hand – asked that bail be set at a reasonable amount. Ackerman indicated Ramsaran’s willingness to surrender his enhanced license, check in frequently with the authorities, or wear an electronic tracking device at his own expense.
While both the prosecution and defense agreed that the case was a complex one, neither side elaborated beyond that.
“I am concerned with the potential flight risk ... this is a very serious charge,” said Chenango County Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr., following which bail was set for $500,000 cash or $1 million in property bonds. Ramsaran was returned to the Chenango County Correctional Facility and will re-appear in court at a later date.
Approximately one hour after the arraignment, a handcuffed Ramsaran was led out of the courthouse by authorities while a group of individuals clad in blue shouted, “Justice for Jennifer, lock him up, no bail,” as he was ushered into a cruiser by police.
“We asked that he be remanded without bail, but we are happy that the judge has reconsidered bail,” said McBride while referring to the substantial increase.
