Horrifying: Jared Remy, released on Wednesday for assaulting girlfriend, now charged with murder

[cali]

Jared Remy, the son of famed Boston Red Sox player and broadcaster Jerry Remy, allegedly stabbed his girlfriend to death in their apartment Thursday night, an act of domestic violence that took place while the victim’s daughter was home, officials said today.

Remy is scheduled to be arraigned today on murder and domestic assault and battery charges at Waltham District Court — the same courthouse where he appeared on Wednesday to face allegations that he assaulted Jennifer Martel, the woman he is now accused of killing, officials said.

Martel’s daughter was home when her mother was killed, Middlesex District Attorney Marian T. Ryan told reporters at a brief press conference outside Waltham police headquarters today. The child is now in the custody of the Department of Children and Families.

Remy was released on personal recognizance on Wednesday, and Ryan said that the bail recommendation made by her office was based, in part, on a conversation with Martel. “The bail recommendation was based on a totality of circumstances,’’ Ryan said.

2. that's some leap there.

the article certainly hints at that and the picture, well, yikes.

The guy had a seriously bad history and he was released on his own recognizance.

3. Admitted roid user. This story will be interesting to see if it has other legs besides the murder.

He was fired as part of a MLB probe into steroids in the Red Sox clubhouse. Ortiz had tested positive earlier in the Mitchell report http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2009/08/02/jared-remy-among-fired-red-sox-steroids-probe/Zc5cFIkp24A83ItzbxCFiN/story.html

6. That guy looks like he's never had an original thought in his life

He looks stupid. If stupid and ignorant have a look, that guy has got it.

4. They still don't take abuse seriously. Jennifer Martel is dead

on Thursday because Jared Remy was let out on bail on Wednesday. Period!

5. right. that's the crux of the matter.

7. And it is not like the court wasn't aware of his past arrest for assault.

8. sadly it was the victim herself who argued for him to be granted bail...

Sad indeed.

10. more info:

Investigators say there was a long, protracted struggle in Remy’s townhouse that went through the kitchen, stairs, living room and outside onto the patio.

Several people who heard the fight called 911.

Witnesses told officers they saw Remy on the patio stabbing Martel repeatedly with a knife. One person tried to help break up the struggle, but Remy allegedly swung the knife at him.
