i was sitting about 4 ft away as the verdict was read, as i had for the last 2 days of the trial as well. wow what an experience. i suspected from the body language of the jurors that they had there minds made up prior to being sequesterd. there was one hold out that had asked for evidence to review. but 11 jurors had made up there mind, as of one hour before the verdict came back. or so i was told. im so glad i waited. i honestly knew it would most likely not take long for deliberations. i spent most of my time there reading the body language of remny and the jury as well. when he was escorted into the court room, i seen him look at his parents and gave nothing but a quick glance, no nod of the head no expression of the face, no more than a millisecond of eye contact at any time. it was as if he did not have the ability or the wont to show appreciation for there inconveniences or support imo. by the time court had resumed for the reading of the verdict, the public spectators had shrank in numbers by 3/4. dateline was thought to have left the area, and not willing or unable to wait for the verdict, they did in fact return. several if not most of the j4jers simply refused to leave the court house lawn until 8:00 pm , if not stay as long as needed. fortunately i knew several of them as i discovered threw out the day. i also never realized who es's husband was until today. consider it lucky or unlucky as to this situation, i grew up with him and know him well, i stayed in his company for most of the day. when court was called to order by judge Revoir, prior to the jury interning the room he had asked, or informed us to remain silent as the verdict was read, out of respect for all parties involved. i believe the ganesh ramsaran party consisted of four, as i sat on the same bench as his mother and father when the verdict was read. one could cut the tension with a dull knife. when the words guilty as charged were announced, mr ganesh ramsaran had not a second before he was surrounded by court security and slapped into handcuffs. his mother immediately broke into tears. although i fully believe she and his father had no doubts as to what verdict would be read. as he stood there awe stroke for the first time threw out the trial he turned his upper torso to face his parents, and continuously shook his head from side to side, the longer he shook his head the more pompous and fake it became. like when one does not believe what they themselves are saying. after the diss missile of the jury, and judge Revoirs final instructions and or questions to the attorneys, mr ganesh ramsarn was swiftly and abruptly ,not escorted. but rather in a very strong and strict manor taken from the court room with at least one hand of every sheriff and or court official placed somewhere on his body, were he was then rushed into a waiting police van, as several marked sheriffs cars escorted the van to chenango county jail and police blocked of every intersection along the route for the convoy to proceed uninterrupted , it was as if they held remny his own personal and private parade, for the towns people to enjoy. he did indeed receive much fan fair and waves of good bye. may i say the sheriffs on duty, in particular the one who had his hand on the scuff of ganesh's neck wile rushing him along, were of great stature and strength towering over him by several feet . they were indeed quite imposing representative of our legal system. it must have been a very very unpleasant experience for him:cheerful:
