Delighted with the outcome today, it was the right decision. I'm from Limerick myself, I know members of the Fitzpatrick family, my kids have attended Mag's creche and I knew Jason to see, but not personally. Friends of mine are friends of theirs. I'm delighted for all of them, and those close...

The trace amount found in his blood was not significant enough to have any effect, so it's a moot point. 'May' being the key word here. That's just the judges opinion. He's being cautious because they are kids and because of the timeline and way the statements were procured. I don't believe...

I think TM will go down for sure, he hasn't a leg to stand on really. I'd be amazed with any other outcome. But I'm afraid I think MM may get off. That's based on what I've seen of the prosecution case so far. Unless there is a major focus on MM and her role over the next day or two, I just...

There are 3 main issues of conflict that are central to this case for me. 1. MM's infatuation with the kids and JC's refusal to allow adoption. We know for example that JC made a specific point of keeping the kids passports in his office at work. 2. The trip to Ireland for JC's dad's upcoming...

Ben Coley was asked this yesterday on twitter and answered that they were due to attend a dinner party, another couple cancelled so they decided to cancel too and go visit the Corbett's. Seeing as the prosecution haven't called the other dinner party subjects to contradict this claim one can...

Here's another theory that I don't think can be discounted - after JC has gone to bed, Molly is still up with her parents. At this point she makes the DV claim to her parents for the first time. On hearing this TM is obviously enraged, and he decides to go upstairs to confront JC, with MM in...

The most disturbing part of this 'story' for me at the time was when someone else pointed out that school didn't start for another two weeks. Was this correct? Did school start 17th/18th August or was it in fact a few weeks later? I don't have a link for this nor do I recall where I saw it but I...

I'd worry about the quality of their legal team if they haven't been!

The inheritance is legitimate as a motive only, but that's about it. Digging in to the technicalities of it as to whether Irish law applies, or US law applies or who has jurisdiction over what, or what happens in the aftermath is irrelevant. Whether MM actually ends up inheriting anything is...

Not entirely true. I know one of the relatives personally (although I must point out I have never discussed the case with said person) and through being friends on social media I've seen commentary and negative replies to posts by at least two family members. It's usually in relation to...

I've come across this very interesting transcript from a Nancy Grace show which aired in the US on January 18th. According to a claim here, the Martens actually changed their plans to travel to NC the day before the murder. There are lots of other interesting bits here including MM's attorney...

It was never a temporary move, not sure where people are getting this from? They got engaged, then MM stated her preference to return to the US as she was homesick and claimed issues with extending her visa. JC organised a job transfer, sold his house and moved over lock, stock and barrel to...

That's almost the exact scenario I put forward a good while back in this thread. I think there's a good chance the Martens weren't even present in the house when it all happened. That said, if they're pulling Toms FBI records they may be leaning towards him being the perpetrator. Question...

I'm pretty sure I read this in an Irish Independent or evoke.ie article, and I also think this is why the Corbett's have claimed a cover up of sorts. SM said JC fell and banged his head, MM told TL that she herself killed JC and then Tom Martens claims that it was he who killed him. Someone is...

There are many possibilities regarding the broken nose. It's possible that JC was booted in the face after he hit the ground. Or his nose was clipped amid the wild swinging of the bat. Anything goes in a wild rage attack after all. Or if he was face down and repeatedly pummelled to the back of...
