I just reposted that as I hadn't seen your comment.PROSECUTOR Greg Brown was not amused. ‘Do you think this is funny?’ he asked Tom Martens, who was on the stand, recovering from an unapologetic chuckle. He had just been asked if stains on the boxers he had been wearing when he killed Jason Corbett had occurred prior to the attack. ‘I hope not,’ he said, looking mischievously at his lawyer David Freedman. It was the latest lob in a verbal volley that had started some three hours before......
In relation to his wife, Sharon Martens, who was in a downstairs bedroom while the alleged battle between himself and Jason Corbett was occurring upstairs, he said that she did not ‘come running up’ to see what was going on. This was despite the loud noises created.... when Mr Corbett himself fell to the ground due to blows....
During cross-examination by Greg Brown, prosecuting, Mr Martens said that despite his CPR training he did not try to resuscitate Jason until an emergency operator told him to.......
A court also heard that Mr Martens ‘can’t remember’ if he washed his face and hands after killing Jason Corbett......
Mr Martens was asked if he ever saw his daughter ‘state her mind’ to her husband. It was put to him that she had a ‘strong, outgoing personality’.
He replied: ‘Maybe I’m used to it.’
It was only when Mr Brown set to work that the real Tom Martens began to emerge. He responded with ease. More than once, his tone was condescending. His stock of answers soon became repetitive – ‘I don’t know’, ‘I don’t recall,’ ‘I don’t remember,’ ‘If that’s what the record says.’ Mr Brown didn’t seem to like his tone. ‘Thanks for correcting me,’ he said at one point. The prosecutor asked Mr Martens if he liked to take control, if, after telling detectives that he ‘enjoyed outwitting’ spies, he had tried to outwit them.

from the JFJ page. Obviously taken from the report by Catherine Fegan of the Irish Daily Mail report. Seems like TM at times let his real persona show. None of this reported by American reporters. I'm at the point where I think we may wait to get a true reflection of what goes on in court. A couple of tweets from a 3 hour witness is not getting across the correct feedback. It's not over yet! IMO
Can you believe the audacity of him? Laughing on the stand about blood spatter.
True colours, that's all I will say.
