Trial Dates Set for Ramsaran Murder Case

The pretrial hearings for accused New Berlin killer Ganesh Ramsaran are set to begin in June, with his trial to begin in September in Chenango County Court.

Ramsaran faces a charge of 2nd degree murder in connection with the killing of his wife in December 2012. Jennifer Ramsaran's body was found in late February off a remote road in the Town of Pharsalia with an autopsy determining her death was a homicide.

Ramsaran has replaced his initial defense lawyer with Mary Ann Krico of Hackensack, New Jersey, after his previous lawyer advised court officials Ramsaran owed him $72,000 in legal fees.

Chenango County District Attorney Joseph McBride will be the lead prosecutor in the trial.
