Is Remy going to go into hiding every time there is more news about Jared? Pathetic.

“What occurred in August 2013 took my family by complete surprise. We loved Jennifer and treated her as if she was our own daughter.”

They had announced his time off before the article came out . . . but they may have known the article came out.
Son of a friend wrote the article. Not long ago he was begging to play in our "Men's Sunday Softball Game". Nicely done, Eric
Dalton Jones said:I find it interesting that Jerry's boss -- John Henry -- published such a piece of journalistic indictment in his paper. I would imagine he had no choice if he wanted to maintain credibility among the staff of The Globe.
I cannot even begin to think about why he feels he should have custody of this little girl. The Remy's are 3-3 in raising shitty kids. One is an absolute monster and the other 2 seem to be pretty terrible people too. Why even subject this young girl to that environment?Trautwein's Degree said:Yeah, rules are different when your white, rich, and your dad is famous. NESN needs to can Remy. Baseball is an escape. No need to carry this kind of baggage into a broadcast.
Remy was on EEI about a month ago. Saying he wants custody of his granddaughter. Really.
And it's not like Remy is a LHP with good control and excellent velocity. He's fine in the booth. When he wants to be, he's a good analyst, however, he's far from irreplaceable.Buffalo Head said:Did NESN not see a day like today coming? Do they not realize that more stories like this are inevitable as the case gets closer to trial? I am dumbfounded that they allowed him back in the first place.
Trautwein's Degree said:It was a month ago, but I recall listening to the EEI interview, and thinking Remy is back because he needs the money. He may have even said as much.
Henry needs to give the order to someone at NESN to immediately pull Remy aside and give him the opportunity to quit to be with his family. If he declines then he should be fired.
It shows me a window into the motivation into the actions and thinking of the Remy's, which was purely selfish and unconcerned for the safety and well-being of their grandchild and his mother. All they wanted was to keep them in their lives instead of recognizing that they would be better off being FAR away from the family.Spacemans Bong said:Did anybody feel it was really scummy of the Remy family to launch a custody grab for their scummy son when the mom of his first kid was in an abusive relationship? The article gave me the impression that their concern wasn't helping out the mother of their granddaughter, but seeing it as a perfect time to strike and feed the insatiable needs of their demon child a bit more.

I just don't know, and I'm don't envy anyone who has to make those kinds of decisions. I'm not comfortable with the decisions Jerry Remy made, but on the other hand I can't point to a single one (of those cited or implied by the Globe article) and say with confidence that I'd have done something else
I think I might be done with NESN until he's off the broadcasts.Buffalo Head said:Jerry is on the broadcast today. Hello, NCAA Tournament.
Yup, and yet they knew enough not to put this guy who terrorizes and hurts women too near the crowds:Toe Nash said:Among everything else, I'm pretty appalled the Red Sox employed him not only in the first place but also after he got out of jail in 06. Or do they give ex-offenders with a history of violent crime jobs regularly?
Why even help him out in the first place?e soon materialized as a security guard at Fenway Park, three other guards recalled. Instead of assigning him to crowd control at games, the Red Sox placed Remy on quiet day shifts, signing for packages and checking bags of fans touring the ballpark.

Something I had not considered which my wife brought up was that his NESN salary is paying for his vile son's lawyer. Fuck that - can him.

I wonder how they would have explained things if he had overreacted and beaten up a fan who mouthed off to him or something, even if his role was limited to off-peak times. Doesn't seem worth the risk at all, and for what? To keep Remy happy? Again, it's not like Remy holds the same cachet with another club. The Sox have the leverage and it's embarrassing they gave him a job at all and kept him on for so long.JBill said:Yup, and yet they knew enough not to put this guy who terrorizes and hurts women too near the crowds:

Just read the Globe story and I'm confused about the custody of Jared's child with Guyette. Who is raising the boy? What a sad, awful story.Trautwein's Degree said:Yeah, rules are different when your white, rich, and your dad is famous. NESN needs to can Remy. Baseball is an escape. No need to carry this kind of baggage into a broadcast.
Remy was on EEI about a month ago. Saying he wants custody of his granddaughter. Really.
(Guyette lost custody in 2007, after the Remys prevailed in a second case, brought at a time Guyette was in another abusive relationship.)
YTF said:No doubt that Remy killed the mother of his child, but after reading this I can only wonder how many people have the blood of Jen Martel on their hands. I'm interested in knowing how many different judges let this animal walk free as his "resume" grew. And of those, how many released him on more than one occasion? And of those, how many times? And his lawyer...yeah I get that it his job to defend his client, but that man clearly has no conscience considering how many times he was called to defend Remy and his trail of violent crimes. Nice how he boasts of being a former prosecutor and knowing "all of the tricks in the book".
singaporesoxfan said:Such a good read, such an awful read. Remy rightly gets a lot of blame but the judges should be considered morally culpable as well. The system is set up to allow over-protective parents to do whatever it takes to support their children, and it's the judges' responsibility to do what's in the best interests of society.
Corsi said:Based on today's Sox broadcast, doesn't sound like Jerry has any plans to step down. He spent some time discussing having to practice some on-camera stuff for the regular season broadcasts back north.
Van Everyman said:This is so bad, it's almost petition-worthy. Depressingly, the Sox themselves seem to bear a ton of responsibility for enabling this guy.
Guessing this refers to my post a bit up thread. If so, I didn't specify the defense lawyers and probably should have done a better job stating that. Hard to believe that the prosecutors and staff have such an incredibly low batting average when it comes to Jared Remy. I understand the judge sets the sentence (lame as it was when there was one to be set), but I wonder how often the prosecutors may have been in agreement to any plea deals that may have been offered.riboflav said:I don't see how the defense lawyer(s) are to blame for doing their very important job in giving Jared fair representation. This disaster is squarely on Jared, his parents plus other enablers like the Sox, the judges, the law as a whole, and perhaps the prosecutors (not enough information on how well or not well they did their jobs).

According to the article, not often. Continuances were granted prior to any arguments really being presented often times. Hard to fault the prosecution if they aren't even given a chance to present a case.YTF said:Guessing this refers to my post a bit up thread.

ForKeeps said:As harrowing as the details in that article are, particularly the description of Martel's murder, it doesn't really change anything. We, and NESN, and the Red Sox, already knew Remy's kid was a subhuman who is pretty much undoubtedly guilty of murder, and Jerry still decided to and was allowed to come back. Again, as bad as it is, I didn't read that and say, "Man, this is worse than I thought." It's pretty much what you'd expect. I think it's fair to question Remy's employers for letting him back to begin with but to say, "Well after THIS they have to fire him" is kinda silly.

Is it? Most people had an idea that Jarrod had a history and Jerry and family helped him get out of it, but most people didn't understand it was this long and this bad. I was in the camp before of "whatever, let him stay" but after going into pages of detail how much of a monster he was and how many times Jerry financed his defenses and possibly more, I've hit my limit.
Sometimes it's not the destination, but the journey.
