CONVICTION OVERTURNED NY - Jennifer Ramsaran, 36, Chenango County, 11 Dec 2012 - #15

[enzeder]

"McBride told reporters that he sees Ramsaran as posing such a danger to the general public that he should be denied parole once he becomes eligible for release consideration."

Ramsaran receives maximum sentence for wife's murder

That upper lip curl of contempt...there were brief glimpses of it in his TV interviews in Jan & Feb 2013 -- just a split-second back then -- I noticed it when he spoke (lied) about Jen and also when talking about how the children were "tough." Now, that sneer is very pronounced -- you see a lot of it in the Dateline interview and, of course, yesterday -- with the narrowed eyes, it really looks like a snarl of aggression. He seems to be flooded with contempt that seems to have grown to include not just for his slain wife and grieving children, but society in general, and authority figures (judge, etc.) specifically.

Now that Justice for Jennifer has been served, I wanted to pop on here and thank all of you guys for supporting Jennifer and her family both here and on J4J. Your kindness and generosity still amazes me.

When I started J4J in 01/2013, I never thought so many people would be on board with advocating and being as hell-bent as I was on making some much needed noise. Our communities are full of kind and gentle people who care and wanted to be Jen's voice, since she no longer had one. They did so many wonderful things in the span of almost two years.

I remember when I first started J4J - we started with organizing a search. People jumped at the chance to look for Jennifer - loving mom, sister, daughter, friend. The search didn't happen, but should have - my biggest regret because Jen would have been found in January. That was my call, and it was a bad one. Then community members, and people from far away organized a crowd sourcing campaign, looked for and secured billboard donations, free color flyers from a local business, and pounded the pavement putting them up left and right - and making sure they stayed up. We drove around and put flyers in rural mailboxes. Kids helped too. And then lawn signs, and tshirts and car decals and bracelets. And then a benefit that raised some serious cash for Jen's family. And Christmas presents for the kids - TONS of them! Letters faxed demanding a higher bail (from $150,000 cash/$300,000 bond to $500,000 cash/$1,000,000 bond). Court - lots of blue-wearing justice seekers showing support for Jen and her family. Balloon releases. The memorial on "Jen's Land" - it's just beautiful. I'm sure I'm leaving out many things, but those are the ones that just popped in my head.

Thinking back on all of that, and just typing it all out right now, makes me proud to know such wonderful, generous people. Jennifer brought us all together, and I'll never forget that. And I'll never forget all you guys, either.

This is a great lesson in humanity - a perfect example of what's good and right in this world.

I really can't say enough how proud I am of all of you. And I'm sure Jen is smiling down from heaven on all of you, saying "Thank you for being my voice."

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

PS: If I ever go missing, I want all of you to look for me because you guys are awesome at what you do! xoxo

Thanks for heading the charge, Jillian. I know you took a lot of hits and threats in that first year, but you persevered for justice, and won -- for Jen's children, for her grieving family. Chenango county is a better place today, not only because it has given the boot to a despicable citizen, but because so many locals came together to give Jennifer a voice, to ensure that her memory endured, to see that justice was served, and to minister to her family.

Tracy, On Monday, I was really struck by Judge Revoir's high-minded eloquence, dignity & grace, especially in contrast to the vicious, petty demeanor of that toad, Remy. His speech during the sentencing was one of the most thoughtful, really; beautiful, public statements I have ever heard. I must say though, I was quite shocked in the beginning when he gave such a very low bail to Remy. I was bewildered & still don't understand it, especially after hearing what he said on Monday. One thing I did notice during the trial & even on Monday, he seems to be a very fair jurist & always makes sure that the defendants rights were front & center. Of course, I'm sure Remy doesn't think so. He never allowed them to trash Jennifer, though. I see a huge difference between Remy's trial & Jodi Arias' in that Judge Revoir is competent & in complete control of his courtroom. He took his role seriously in the rules of evidence. For this reason, the trial was not a hard thing to cope with.

Another point I'd make is that I was really struck with the professionalism & kindness of his Court Officers. Always pleasant, kind and helpful. These things are very telling about the kind of man Frank Revoir is.

Yes, I agree. Judge Revoir gave a very moving and impassioned speech. It was very nice!

I don't know why I was shocked at what GR said in court during his sentencing, but I was. Mildly amused too, because I realized that GR was just using the only power and control he had that day - his words. Now he can go back to his prison playmates and brag to them about how he told the judge off. But again, nailing his coffin even tighter. I think Revoir will also be the one sentencing him for the bribery conviction that's sure to come. Or, would that be a conflict of interest?

I was impressed when, throughout the trial, Revoir only lost his cool once or twice. He pretty much kept it together, and that must have been a huge challenge given the things GR was doing and saying. I bet the folks at the County Jail couldn't wait to get rid of him!

I wonder why the bail was so low on a murder charge at the beginning? I think he realized his mistake.

I didn't follow the Arias trial closely, but now I'm curious about the judge that handled that case!

Jillian.. thank you, and J4J so much for all you've done. I don't know why Jennifer became so important to me, someone I never knew, never met, but she did. So much so that after the trial I had to step back from here for a while to process it. I just hope that Jenn's family are doing ok; they've had to wait so long to start the "normal" grieving process.

Be at peace, Jennifer.

Ganesh got what he deserved, with possibly more added on via the bribery charge. I can't help thinking that this didn't have to end this way. Guess divorcing Jenny didn't meet all his greedy and twisted needs.

Bless Carol, Tom and the kids, who should have never had to go through this nightmare. Rest in peace Jenny, forever loved and missed....

 

[PlainJaneDoe]

Was thinking of Jennifer while I ran today. :rose:

Thinking of Jenny as tomorrow marks the second anniversary of her passing.

Gone, but never forgotten...

A winter storm has been passing through the last couple days, blanketing most of New York. Chenango County got the most in this storm -- almost 2 feet. Looking out at all this snow, I think of Jennifer, and her snowy grave. So grateful she's now properly buried, where her children and parents and loved ones can visit her. So grateful that justice has been served.

Does anybody know...does the info here mean that GR has been committed (permanently) to the Elmira prison, or is he still in processing?

IMO It doesn't mean either - it's not mentioned where he will be located at all. I would guess they are still observing prior to final processing.

oops...silly me...I posted the wrong link...but at any rate, I think you're right. Here's the link I meant to post, and when I went back to check, the info is the same as the screen shots you posted a couple weeks back http://nysdoccslookup.doccs.ny.gov/GCA00P00/WIQ3/WINQ130

A peaceful and joyful Christmas to everyone in Jennifer's little corner - no matter where in the world that is. It's a hard time of year to be missing a loved one, but I'm certain she'd wish love and happiness for all who cared about her. Lovely lady. Wish I could have met her.

It's now just Christmas Day in Australia, and I have the best Christmas present as I have just found out that GR has been found guilty of murdering Jennifer. Somehow I missed the trial! Wonderful news and Justice for Jennifer.
Happy Christmas everyone.
