Jason Corbett's children’s evidence could hold the key to retrial 

The second Jason Corbett murder trial may hinge on who the jury believe to have been the abuser and who was the abused in his relationship with Molly Martens, writes Liz Dunphy

Molly Martens, 37, Jason Corbett’s second wife, and her father Tom, 71, a former FBI agent, admitted killing Mr Corbett, 39, a father-of-two, attacking him with a baseball bat and a brick, but claimed self defence. Picture: Jerry Wolford.

A chilling 911 call in the early hours of August, 2, 2015, began the public face of a very private, bloody crime, the truth of which still remains unknown and bitterly contested.

The caller, Tom Martens, said his son-in-law, Jason Corbett, “got in a fight” with his daughter, Molly Martens Corbett, and that he had found Jason “choking my daughter.”
