P. v. Ramnanan CA4/2
Lee and Peggy Williams (collectively “Williams”) lived in Yermo. They owned two horses, a horse trailer, a white dually (double-wheeled) Ford pickup, a motor home, and a blue 1981 Pontiac LeMans. On the evening of December 3, 1992, four people -- Ramnanan, Tammy [Gamache], Tammy’s husband, Richard Gamache (Richard), and another person, a minor boy -- gained entrance to the Williamses’ house on the pretense of needing to use the phone. After seizing the Williamses, the intruders ransacked the house for money, guns, and other property. They then departed taking the victims with them.
Richard and Ramnanan drove the Williamses in the motor home. Tammy drove the pickup. At one point, defendants stopped and forced the Williamses to sign bills of sale transferring the truck, the horse trailer, the mobile home, and the Pontiac to them. After driving a further distance, Ramnanan and Richard forced the Williamses to walk out in the desert and lie face down.
