From the Independent article:

"According to court documents, the alleged removal of his belongings violated an earlier ‘consent order’ issued in September.
That order directed Ms Martens not to remove any tangible personal property owned by her husband from the house."

If she had notified the court that she was going there to remove her "personal items", surely the Corbetts attorney would have then been notified by the Court so they could monitor the removal.

Didn't a neighbor say that there was a claim that Molly had permission, papers of some sort? Apparently, this latest court that has summoned her to appear hasn't seen these "papers."

That's right. She said she had been told MM had a court order to remove her personal belongings. However she later deleted the post.

I was just wondering if MM could argue conflicting advice from different lawyers?
 
this link is specifically on behaviour of blood post mortem http://www.angelfire.com/sc3/cjrp/forensicsofdeath.html
See also rigor mortis.
Jason was naked. Was he naked when the attack occurred? Where are his clothes if he was wearing any?
Did Molly's clothes or her father's clothes show blood? Were they taken for analysis? How were they both dressed when the EMT people arrived?
There are so many questions to which I dont feel we will receive answers until after the trial. Probably best to concentrate on finding more info about her life, her parents' lives..
And hope that the crime scene was managed properly and thoroughly.

I think it was reported he was naked. A MM friend seemed to suggest he slept naked. I would hope both TM and MM's clothes were collected to try to ascertain blood splatter.

I agree about holding some evidence back for now. No need to show your hand completely.
 
but what I meant was whether they had time to strip him prior to calling the emergency number?
this is far fetched, I know, but suppose granny took the children away to avoid the commotion, and she took loads of evidence with her too, incl Jason's clothes? Clothes would be a very good indicator of events.. Its unlikely but its a possibility if there was indeed a time lapse..

My understanding is that she has a family law lawyer to deal with custody issues and a criminal defence lawyer to deal with the murder charge. She may also have someone to deal with the estate but I haven't seen anything about it. Is that generally handled separately in the US?

Both my parents estates were probated in NC...the thing that surprised me the most about the process is that it's overseen by the Clerk of the Court and not a judge...most of it involves just paperwork that IMO is rubber-stamped and approved without question...if there is a dispute then it is heard and decided by the Clerk...if appealed it is then transferred to Superior Court...I checked the Register of Deeds for Davidson County and the property is titled in both MM and JC names most likely as joint tenants with rights of survivorship...that would mean that on the day JC died MM became the sole owner...and I would also think that any of the furnishings purchased within the marriage would be treated the same...that's not to say that she won't lose it if convicted...I couldn't tell if there was a DOT on the property but if so I can't imagine the bank is going to let payment slide until the trial is over...I bet that is where the pressure is coming from...most likely, there was an inventory of JCs belongings and they have been moved to storage...if they clean up the house and sell it, proceeds of equity would go to escrow...this situation is so sad for JC and his family and children...I'm sure they feel justice won't be served because they are in Ireland... I hate to say it but I think the father said he did it to protect Molly and when prosecutors get to the truth Molly will have a plea deal and Dad will be punished but not for murder...
 
But her "ownership" is complicated by the Slayer statue, the fact that she has been charged,and that the first judge did freeze the estate. If it were simple and within her rights, I doubt that she would be summoned to court, and forbidden to sell anything.

Interesting theory. I hadn't actually considered it. I had just assumed it was more damaging to their case that he was found naked. The fact he slept naked would suggest he was in bed - or at least heading to bed - when he was killed not sure many people would start an argument whilst in the nip. However, it is an interesting thought to consider. We do need to remember that TM is a trained LE and would have an idea of what he was doing if he wanted to cover things up.

I think the slayer statute is in play at the moment and so nothing can be transferred into her sole name, sold etc until the case has been completely dealt with. Just wondering if anyone has any idea of the ramifications of a plea deal by MM on the estate. I would assume that any plea would mean her relinquishing any entitlement, is that right?
 
The estate business is rather tricky in all jurisdictions. In December, the lynches brought an application seeking an order that molly release the children's belongings and also rings belonging to Jason's first wife. However, while molly had to release the children's belongings , the lynches did not receive the rings as the judge ordered they be released to the estate lawyers to determine whether or not they were part of jasons estate. There has been no more publicity about this since as far as I know.

A consent order is an order in which the terms contained therein has been agreed by all parties involved and these are almost always just handed into court and rubber stamped as a confirmed agreement. So unless there has been a clear breach by molly of something she and her lawyers previously agreed to , it might not go anywhere.

The slayer law from my reading is that a person convicted of murder may not benefit from a deceased estate I.e. their victims estate. Perhaps as she is not charged with 1st degree it may not apply at present until after the trial. I am not sure . I expect its at the discretion of the courts whether to enforce it now.

The application next week will all hinge on what she took, proving she had no right to take them and whether or not she choose to ignore whatever was agreed last September.

I would haves expected a trained LE to do a better cover up job, TBH. That is one factor that makes me think the whole thing was not premeditated.

Ah, I know the stone is mentioned in other articles but the DM is the only one that I saw where it was discussed or questioned as to why it was in the bedroom. I guess the kids can confirm were there was any such project.

I suspect the other people in the house he is referring to are the ones who were there earlier on in the night socialising with them, I believe they were referred to in other publications as neighbours. I am sure they have all been questioned at length, their statements could prove vital in this case.

Frizby school wasn't due to start till 2 weeks after jason was murdered so she has been caught on another lie there thats the problem with lies thankfully hard to remember them all

I didn't see anything published about it, and I don't think any of us on Websleuths actually knows them to ask them.

If this is to do with what the Corbett family knew about how she was hired, I posted a link back earlier in the thread about a family friend who gave an interview to the press stated she answered an ad that Jason had placed but she doesn't elaborate on where it was placed......
 
@electricsheep

It has been reported the kids were staying at a friends house but Molly collected the children at 11 pm and brought them home .Why this was done I dont know. Was he first attacked at this time ?
 
For the sake of coherency, lets start separating facts from conjecture
we do not actually know it to be the truth that he slept without clothes. That could be one of the very many red herrings which are mere efforts to thwart the truth.
nor do we know for sure that he was sleeping when the attack occurred. We speculate but speculation is not particularly useful for the purpose of sleuthing.
We know his body was naked when it was received by the coroner's office. It was sealed and tagged. Those are the facts.
 
And the fact is that we do not know where Molly was from 2003 until,she came into that household as acNanny.

Jason is said to have bought tickets to travel to Ireland. Do we know the date of the flights?

It was reported they were to make a surprise visit on the 21st for his dads birthday they had those tickets booked prior to the "fat shaming" friday nigh . He booked 3 separate tickets on 1st he was killed on the 2nd . The police found evidence of this on his computer

that JC was found naked with trazodone in his system might suggest he and Molly had sex prior to the beating which also could have been Molly's trigger...is that when she hit him with the brick?...from pg 8 of the autopsy report: "On the left parietal scalp is a 6 1/2" x 4" coarsely stellate, complex, branched full-thickness laceration with partial avulsion. the branches individually range from 3/4" to 2" in length."... I mean that sounds like a brick to me...and sex is a passionate thing for most people...maybe for Molly it's how she thought she could control him...

I think the effect of a plea deal for Molly on the estate would most certainly require her to relinquish her assets to JCs children and not just their joint property...not too familiar with the "slayer statute" in NC but she has to be convicted first...and then I think a civil action like wrongful death could be pursued by JC relatives... I just think the Court would recognize it's in no one's best interest to allow the value of the house to deteriorate if it's mortgaged and she's not making payments...as I recall, my Mother became sole owner of my parents house when my Father died and its value wasn't listed as part of any estate until she passed away...it was explained to me that when you own something jointly with right of survivorship it doesn't have to go through probate...
