[h=1]The two sides of Molly Martens Corbett[/h][h=2]Jason Corbett’s sister claims ‘real Limerick man’ had concerns about his wife[/h]Ms Lynch claims Martens Corbett had told a family friend that she wanted to leave him “because she did not love him any more and did not care what happened to him” and that she had “reconnected with an old boyfriend on Facebook”. She would not leave Mr Corbett, however, because she had no legal rights to her husband’s two children, it was alleged.

Ms Lynch had told the court that her brother had made a deliberate decision to retain his Irish passport and his children’s passports because of his concerns about his wife.

[h=1]Ex-ORNL’er guilty of beating son-in-law to death; sentenced[/h][FONT=&quot]A former Oak Ridge National Laboratory employee, who worked in counter intelligence department, has been found guilty — along with his daughter — of the beating death of his son-in-law.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]In a search warrant application, Sheriff’s Office Detective B.M. Smith wrote that neither Molly Corbett nor Martens was injured and that evidence at the scene did not support the struggle they described. During the trial, a paramedic testified that he saw no injuries on Molly Corbett, but he did see a light redness on her neck and she told him she’d been choked.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Davidson County Sheriff’s Cpl. C.S. Dagenhardt, the officer who responded to the murder scene, testified that he saw Jason Corbett’s naked body in the master bedroom. He noticed puddles of blood and blood on the walls.[/FONT][FONT=&quot]The medical examiner who performed the autopsy on Jason Corbett testified that Corbett’s skull fractures were similar to those suffered in a car crash or fall from a great height.Joann Lowry, a colleague of Martens, testified that she worked with Martens in the counter-intelligence department. Two months before the incident, Lowry said she asked about Martens’ weekend, and he indicated that Molly Corbett, Jason Corbett and his grandchildren came to visit.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]″(Martens) said, ‘We’re always glad to see them come home, but we’re always glad to see them leave. That son-in-law, I hate him,’” Lowry testified[/FONT]

How could a delicate beauty like Molly Martens be capable of such violence?

[FONT=&amp]It was the sight of the leg-irons that really brought it home. Not only was killer Molly Martens dangerous enough to require handcuffs, she needed shackles on her ankles as well.The Davidson County Police had got their killer, and they were making sure she wasn’t going anywhere.The picture of her bound by both ankle and wrist as she was led by an officer to a waiting prison vehicle was an incongruous one.The jury was unanimous in its verdict and found Martens had concocted a “self-defence” story, claiming she and her father had only killed Jason because he tried to throttle her.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]Instead, they found the evidence showed how the father and daughter had beaten dad-of-two Jason so badly he was left looking like a car crash victim.The jury head said: “It was clear the level of force used here was totally excessive.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]District Attorney Gary Frank noted: “This was a particularly extreme injury, even for an assault with a bat and a brick.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]Neither Molly nor her former FBI agent dad, 67, had any injuries despite claiming they acted out of fear for their lives.But would this case have attracted such huge international interest had Jason Corbett’s killer been a man? Of course not.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]As a society, we are fascinated by female killers. They never fail to shock us into attention.Molly Martens now joins the ranks of the infamous, along with Black Widow Catherine Nevin, serving life for the murder of husband Tom at Jack Whites pub in Wicklow in 1996, or the notorious Scissor Sisters – Charlotte and Linda Mulhall – who were convicted of killing their mother’s [/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]boyfriend Farah Noor.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]As Molly’s stepson Jack, 13, said in a letter read out at her sentencing: “She will always be remembered as a murderer.” The Molly Martens story is a particularly chilling one – the outwardly loving stepmother who beat her husband to death in the marital bedBy contrast, women are seen as being life-givers, not life-takers. When they become murderers, it betrays society’s idea of their gender, and idealised notions of motherhood.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]And so, say experts, their monstrosity is magnified. They are seen as outside the realm of humanity and motherhood – they are like modern-day witches.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]Their crimes are sensationalised, sexualised, festished. We see this perception played out in court cases and in media reporting.She and her father were sentenced to between 20 and 25 years in jail.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]Her cold-hearted plot to get rid of Jason, paint him as a violent husband, and have the children all to herself, backfired in the worst possible way.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]She is imprisoned in North Carolina Correctional Institute For Women and will likely never see Jack or Sarah again.[/FONT]

[h=1]Attorneys allege jury misconduct in Corbett trial[/h]After a month-long, high-profile trial in Davidson Superior Court, Molly Martens Corbett, 33, and her father, Thomas Martens, 67, a former FBI agent, were convicted Aug. 9 of second-degree murder by a jury of nine women and three men. Judge David Lee sentenced each to 20 years to 25 years in prison.Martens and Molly Corbett claimed self-defense and the defense of others, saying that Martens struck Jason Corbett multiple times because Jason was choking and threatening to kill Molly in the couple’s master bedroom.Walter Holton and Cheryl Andrews, attorneys for Molly Corbett, and David Freedman and Jones Byrd, attorneys for Martens, filed a motion for appropriate relief Wednesday in Davidson Superior Court. They allege that the jurors engaged in misconduct, which they say requires that the verdict be set aside.“Post-trial, voluntary press interviews and social media posts of certain jurors portray juror misconduct throughout the proceeding that directly violates the Court’s repeated jury admonitions, North Carolina law and the Constitutional protections afforded these and all defendants in a criminal trial,” the motion says.

Lee told the jurors repeatedly throughout the trial that they are not to talk about the case among themselves or with other people, including their spouses or people they are dating. He also told them not to watch or read any media accounts and to not go on social media. Lee additionally told the jurors to not start deliberating until they had heard all the evidence, closing arguments and jury instructions.

Garry Frank, Davidson County’s district attorney, could not immediately be reached for comment Wednesday. Holton also could not be reached. Freedman declined to comment about the motion.

[h=2]‘Private conversations’[/h]
Tom Aamland, the jury foreman, answered questions from reporters after the trial. Attorneys for Molly Corbett and Martens said his statements to the media indicate that some of the jurors had “private” conversations about the case.

“We felt which way we were going to go, I believe, individually before the closing arguments,” Aamland is quoted as saying in the motion. “We didn’t discuss the verdicts but in having private conversations everybody — we could read that everybody was going in the same direction, just the level of severity. Nobody voted not guilty.”

More than 40 pages were filed on behalf of the defense. The motion cites "misconduct" from some jurors and makes the argument that the trial did not have a fair and impartial jury. It specifically quotes one statement made by jury foreman Tom Aamland during a press conference
after the trial.You know anytime someone is convicted of murder and sent off to prison for 20 years, everything is looked into and you naturally expect anybody to grasp at any straw they can," said Davidson County District Attorney Garry Frank.In a Facebook post on Monday, Aamland stated "any previous posts, statements, and/or theories are mine and mine alone. I do not speak for any other members of the jury... The verdict was found by evidence presented in the courtroom only."Meanwhile, defense attorneys have appealed the court’s decision, which will go to the North Carolina Court of Appeals before a panel of three judges.
Freedman expects the appeal to be heard sometime in the summer of 2018.​
