What if she had gotten the kids?...then he would have had good reason to speak out in my opinion...but what if she did make a clean break and hasn't taken bipolar drugs for 8 years?...then what?...if she can prove that she hasn't, does that acquit her of the murder?
Personally I don't see your points of having any relevance. She did not get the kids, what she can prove regarding her intake of medication may prove crucial in the case or it may not. He was speaking up regarding his experience with her, an experience that he lived with just before she left for Ireland, he was not witnessing this on the sidelines, he lived it. It is also not just a story he is telling now, it is linked to a written account that was published years ago. He is speaking up as he disputes what she said in the custody trial based on what was he was living with at the time, where she is claiming that she has not taken or prescribed any medication for over 8 years. He is aware of her mental state at the time, that is the premise of his comments.
If she can prove that she has not taken any medication or having any medication prescribed then that will be another story but that does not take away from his reasoning for doing the interview. Maybe she was advised to take another type of medication and choose not to. She was on up to 26 medication every day and then suddenly she is on none? But he did not state that he was doing this for the benefit of the children as you said in your post. It is a shame that the article and also the segmented pieces are not up on line but what I typed is word for word what is stated in the article.
One of the other segmented pieces in the article details is what was stated in the custody hearing, the following is exact copy of what that section says.
Molly Martens claims she has not been prescribed drugs for bipolar or depression in 'over eight years' according to court documents.
In a transcript of her testimony during a guardianship hearing on August 14th last year, the 32-year old told the court that she was diagnosed as bipolar at the age of 15.
Her testimony was given in response to evidence from her sister-in-law Tracey Lynch, who claimed that Ms Martens had left 'her lithium out on a shelf' in the bathroom while staying in Ms Lynch's home. The claims were made in court while both parties battled for custody of Mr Corbett's two young children.
While being examined under oath, Molly's attorney Kelley Gondring asked her what happened after she was diagnosed as bipolar. In reply she said "I underwent therapy and a psychiatrist for medications".
Mr Gondring then asked: "and today, what, if any, medications do you take for being bipolar?"
Ms Martens replied: "I don't"
Q - When is the last time you saw anyone about being bipolar?
A - The last time I saw anyone for bipolar depression was around age 17. And probably the last time I say anyone for depression was eight or nine years ago.
Q - Why haven't you seen anybody for bipolar since you were 17?
A - I feel that I probably wasn't bipolar. I was given anti-depressants and they reacted physiologically with my body. So later on the diagnosis changed to depression.
Q - Okay, when have you been prescribed lithium?
A - Not for over..... It's been over eight years since I have been prescribed anything.
Q - When, if ever, would you have had a box of lithium?
A - I have never had a box of lithium
