Remy Case Leads AG to Action

Jennifer Martel was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend, Jared Remy.

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley called the murder of a Waltham woman, allegedly by boyfriend Jared Remy, a horrible tragedy” and she wants Massachusetts’ domestic violence laws re-examined, according to an Associated Press report.

Remy, the son of Red Sox announcer Jerry Remy, pleaded not guilty to the charge on Friday. He is being held without bail. 

The death of Jennifer Martel came just two days after Jared Remy was charged with assault and battery on his girlfriend, but no restraining order had been active against him on Wednesday, the day before the murder.
