'THEY WERE PAINTING IT' [h=1]Molly Martens Corbetts uncle claims brick was on bedroom nightstand because it was to be used for childrens arts project[/h]The 33-year-old and her father Thomas Martens were found guilty of second degree murder of Irish dad Jason Corbett earlier this week.And Mollys uncle Mike Earnest has claimed it was in the house because it was being painted by one or both of Jasons kids.
He told the Sunday Times: I forget specifically if it was both or one child, but there was a craft project that they were doing in school or some summer craft thing and they were painting the brick or something to that effect.The court decided not to allow any of those statements in. Consequently the jury had to imagine why the brick was there.
With hindsight, it appears the jury formed an opinion quite early on.
