Via ESPN:
Jared Remy, 35, admitted in Middlesex Superior Court that he fatally stabbed 27-year-old Jennifer Martel in August. He described himself as “the bad apple” and called Martel “an angel” but said he killed her because she had a knife and was threatening him.
Remy pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, assault and battery, and violating a restraining order, among other charges.
His father, a former Red Sox second baseman who has been a color analyst on team broadcasts on the New England Sports Network since 1988, was not in court for the hearing.
In a statement after his sentencing, Jared Remy said, “Blame me for this, not my family.” According to the Boston Globe, he also said, “And if you asked my family, they’d rather have me dead than her.”
