NORWICH — Convicted murderer Ganesh R. Ramsaran was sentenced to an indetermine sentence of 25 years to life in prison this morning in Chenango County Court.

After a trial spanning approximately three weeks and jury deliberations lasting just more than three hours, Ramsaran was found guilty of murdering his wife on Sept. 23, 2014.

Based upon evidence — which was said throughout the trial to be largely circumstantial — the jury was convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that Ramsaran had killed Jennifer Ramsaran in their home on Dec. 11, 2012.

Prior to any statements regarding sentencing today, Chenango County Court Judge Frank B. Revoir Jr. asked Ramsaran’s defense counsel, Giberto Garcia, if there were any discrepancies in the pre-sentencing report that was completed by the Chenango County Probation Department.

Garcia said he has not spoken to his client – prior to today – since his arrest on another matter, and he found the lack of communication to be a bit unusual.

Ramsaran addressed the court and said the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office denied him access to call his attorney. McBride said he checked with the Corrections Sgt. and he said there were no calls during his shift.

“When my client tells me he was not allowed to call me, that presents a problem,” said Garcia. Although he said they were ultimately prepared to continue with the sentencing.
