Red Sox Broadcaster Blasts Son Charged With Murder

BOSTON (AP) — Longtime Boston Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy said Saturday he could not describe his "disgust and remorse" over allegations his son fatally stabbed his girlfriend a day after being released from custody for allegedly assaulting her.

On Wednesday, Remy had been released on personal recognizance in an open assault and battery case in which Martel was the alleged victim, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said. There was no active restraining order against him, she said.

Remy has a violent criminal history, including a total of 15 criminal charges since 1998, according to Waltham court records. He has been accused of assaulting five people — including four women.

The elder Remy released the statement through his official Twitter account, marking his first public reaction after his son allegedly killed Martel. Jared Remy allegedly stabbed the woman a day after he was released from custody in a separate assault case against the victim.

Martel's 4-year-old child was in the apartment, and was not hurt. The child is now in the custody of child welfare officials.

Jerry Remy called the killing a "senseless and tragic act," saying his thoughts and prayers go out to the victim's mom and her family.

Jared Remy, 34, pleaded not guilty in Waltham District Court on Friday on charges of murder and domestic assault and battery in the killing of Martel, 27.

In court, prosecutors described a brutal and determined attack, saying Jared Remy assaulted Martel in the kitchen, living room, on a stairway and then pinned her to the ground in the patio where he stabbed her several times. At least one neighbor who tried to help Martel was driven back when Remy slashed at him, a prosecutor told a judge in court.

Jerry Remy is a former Red Sox second baseman who has been a color analyst on team broadcasts on the New England Sports Network since 1988. He has struggled with health problems in recent years. NESN announced Friday that he will be off the air through next weekend.

Jerry Remy released the statement through is official Twitter account, marking his first public reaction after his son allegedly killed Martel. The younger Remy allegedly stabbed the woman a day after he was released from custody in a separate assault case against the victim.
