Kurt Busch Is In A Courtroom... Still...

((HT: NBC Sports/NASCAR America))

The HQ understands the strategy of Busch attorney Rusty Hardin in the case currently ongoing in a Dover, Delaware court. Busch's ( the HQ is safe to say former) girlfriend, Patricia Driscoll, is attempting to get a protection order extended over the driver.

She alleges that she was physically abused/assaulted in the Busch hauler in a race weekend at Dover International Raceway back in the fall.

Busch, naturally, denies this and maintaints that he only wanted her to leave and that the allegations are a fabrication ( his word).

Driscoll also is claiming Busch is depressed and an alcoholic.

But when Rusty Hardin is involved the HQ understands that the public spectacle/embarassment/show is where he, as a lawyer, makes his money. His job is to make sure the accused is exposed in the wrong and that the larger the spectacle/embarassment/show, the better his client appears.

The case continues as Jack Furlong discusses with Carolyn Manno

Jerry Remy's Son Pleads Guilty To 1st Degree Murder

((HT: MyFoxBoston))

The son of Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy pleaded guilty to the first degree murder of his long-time girlfriend Jennifer Martel. Remy stabbed Martel in their apartment last year, and had pleaded not guilty in the past.

He was arrested for the first time back in August after allegedly pushing Martel into a mirror. He was released on his own recognizance and stabbed Martel to death the following day. First degree murder charges carry a life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole.

Remy had pleaded guilty to other charges surrounding Martel's death- including assault on a neighbor who tried to intervene, and violating a restraining order Martel had taken out against him.

Here's the plea

Two other charges- assault and battery and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon- were dismissed after Remy’s attorney argued they were covered under the murder charge.

In a statement after his sentencing, Jared Remy said“blame me for this, not my family.”
