A Facebook page urging the US justice system to keep two convicted murderers of an Irish father-of-two behind bars has been set-up.

A police dispatcher who took Thomas Martens’ 911 call the morning of Irish businessman Jason Corbett’s death testified that Mr Martens never sounded out of breath, even as he did three rotations of CPR on Mr Corbett, writes Michael Hewlett.

Prosecutors in the high-profile US trial of Molly Martens and her father Thomas Martens over the murder of her Irish husband are expected to make their opening argument on Monday, now that the week-long jury selection process has come to a conclusion.
