Jerry Remy has opted not to return to the Red Sox broadcast booth two weeks after his son, Jared, was charged with murder.

Jerry spoke out against his son immediately after allegations of the brutal killing of his girlfriend, Jennifer Martel, emerged on Aug. 16, and did so again on Thursday night.

"I am full of grief for the Martel family," Remy said in a statement released by NESN late Thursday night after he met with the network at Fenway Park. "My thoughts and prayers continue to go out to them. My wife and I are sick about this senseless tragedy.

"It's clear this isn't the time for me to return to broadcasting Red Sox games. It's my hope that I can do so in the spring. I thank NESN and the Red Sox for their support through this nightmare."

Two weeks ago, 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.

Jared Remy appears at Waltham District Court for his arraignment.

Martel and Remy's 4-year-old daughter was at the apartment at the time of the incident but unharmed. Martel's death occurred two days after Remy was arrested and released on bail for assaulting Martel.

Jerry had been out of the booth since then with former Red Sox pitcher Dennis Eckersley working a majority of the games with play-by-play man Don Orsillo. Jerry played three years with the Red Sox in the mid-70's and has been a staple with NESN since 1988.

"We met with Jerry and conveyed our support and when Jerry feels the time is right, we will welcome him back," NESN president and chief executive officer Sean McGrail said, according to the Boston Globe.

"All of us at NESN and the Red Sox once again express our deepest sympathies to the Martel family for their terrible and tragic loss."
