An Ulster County judge ordered New York State Trooper Christopher Baldner be held without bail at a hearing held Thursday afternoon.

Baldner was indicted last week on second-degree murder, second-degree manslaughter and first-degree reckless endangerment charges in connection with the December 2020 death of 11-year-old Monica Goods, of Brooklyn, who was killed during a police chase involving Baldner and Goods' father.

Baldner was led into Ulster County Court in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit Thursday. The court was filled with his family, friends and law enforcement colleagues.

Monica Goods' mother and her attorney and supporters also were present in the courtroom.

State prosecutors asked Judge Bryan Rounds to keep Baldner in custody because they said he posed a flight risk.

Baldner's lawyer, John Ingrassia, asked the judge to set bail and confine Baldner to house arrest.

"He sits here this morning still an innocent man charged with an indictment, which is a mere allegation," Ingrassia said.

Rounds denied the bail request. Baldner remains in police custody.

Outside the courthouse, Goods' mother, Michelle Surrency, gathered with supporters who carried signs and called for Baldner to "do the time."

"I just want everyone to know we’re still at the beginning of this fight," said Surrency. "He got remanded because that’s where he deserves to be. My child does not have that option. My children no longer have a sister."

Baldner is required to return to court on Friday, Feb. 18. If he's found guilty, he faces 25 years to life in prison.

A spokesperson for the New York State Troopers said last week Baldner has been suspended without pay.
