Martens’ 911 call ‘distinctly calm’

The prosecution in the case of the father and daughter charged with the murder of an Irish businessman want to present statements from a member of the 911 emergency team who said the call made about the fatal incident was “surprisingly calm”.

The prosecution’s first witness is understood to be a 911 emergency services operator who took the call from Jason Corbett’s father-in-law Thomas Martens in the early hours of August 2, 2015.

Meanwhile, jury selection dragged for a sixth day yesterday . By lunch, one out of two alternate jurors was selected. And despite going through more than 10 potential jurors yesterday afternoon, no second alternate juror was chosen.
