Jason Corbett’s father-in-law 'told co-worker he hated Jason', murder trial hears

Jason Corbett’s father-in-law Thomas Martens told a co-worker that he hated Jason two months before the Irish businessman was found bludgeoned to death, according to testimony at the murder trial today.

THE CASE: Molly Martens and her father, Thomas Martens, 67, a former FBI agent, are on trial for second-degree murder in Jason Corbett's death in the early morning hours of Aug 2, 2015. They deny the charge, and have claimed self-defense and the defense of others, saying that Thomas Martens struck Jason Corbett with a baseball bat to keep Jason from choking Molly.

Prosecutors allege Molly and Thomas Martens intentionally beat Jason to death with a baseball bat, a 28-inch Louisville Slugger, and a concrete paving brick.
