A Deadly American Marriage: Piecing Together Jason Corbett’s Final Weeks
Manage episode 480799571 series 3447160
In this episode of the Compendium, we explore the Jason Corbett case. The harrowing tale of love, betrayal, and tragedy. Jason was an Irish widower, sought a fresh start in North Carolina with his children and new wife, Molly Martens. Their seemingly idyllic life unraveled in 2015 when Jason was found bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat and a concrete brick.
Molly and her father, ex-FBI agent Tom Martens, claimed self-defense but were later convicted of second-degree murder. After appeals, their convictions were overturned, leading to a plea deal for voluntary manslaughter and their release in 2024. We delve into the complexities of this domestic violence case, the contentious custody battle over Jason's children, and the emotional aftermath that continues to haunt his family.
