Father-in-law of Jason Corbett: ‘I hit him until I felt he could not kill me’
The father-in-law of Irishman Jason Corbett took the stand yesterday in a North Carolina courtroom describing how he repeatedly beat the 39-year-old Irishman on the head with a baseball bat in the early hours of August 2, 2015,
“I hit him until he goes down and then I step away,” “Thomas Martens, 67, testified. I don’t know how many times I hit him. I hit him until I thought he could not kill me ... I felt both of our lives were in danger. I did the best I could.”
