According to various reports a u.s. court has ordered a retrial in the Jason Corbett murder case. Wife of Jason, now named Molly Martens Corbett and her father Thomas Martens are believed to be appealing the conviction of second degree murder. According to documentation, second degree murder is classed as an intentional murder with malice, but not deemed premeditated. The 39 year old father of two was found naked at his home in north Carolina in 2015.
The case for the prosecution relayed that Thomas Martens and his daughter beat James Corbett to death with a brick and a baseball bat, reportedly administering atleast twelve blows to the head. Thomas Martens is claiming self defence.
Jason met Molly when she flew out to Ireland to work as an au pair for his two children, after his first wife died. They married in 2011. On the night of his murder James was planning to take his children back to Ireland and had according to one report, packed a bag.
His last social media post was reportedly about how people question the good things about you but believe the bad things.
