    I fear she will try and twist this in her favour, book, Interviews etc. I'm not sure how big a case it is over there like here. Odious the pair of them.

    The one comfort we can take is their family, including the wife/mother, surely all know what kind of disgusting and depraved humans they actually really are and have to live with knowing what their loved ones actually did.

    All might appear rosy and united to the outside world but I'm sure behind closed doors it's a different story.

    I hope Molly and Tom are haunted by night terrors of what they did.

    I think it's disgusting that the media refer to her by her double barreled surname. She should be made drop the Corbett name.

    If there was even a sliver of truth in the cock-and-bull story she’s tried to present; then she’d have wanted no association with the name of someone she alleges she lived in fear of.
    Her actions speak louder than the bullshit story she’s tried to spin for her defence

    I suspect it was 98% her and the father was a willing participant. Something not right there mentally imo.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 600 ✭✭✭dbas


    That's most of her power, and you're right. It's gone. Hope she can never victimise another family again.

    The terms for their release, I think I heard Tom and Molly can't live together. Do they need permission to meet up aswell?

    “The Killing of Jason Corbett”

    repeated on VM 1 tonight at 10pm. for those who might have missed it first time round.

    Appreciate that - didn’t see first time, got it set to tape.

    If there's some family gathering they need permission to be at the same place together.

    Just watched tonight's program, they seem to have skipped over the second trial where the children gave evidence.

    Program was a repeat of a 2021 doc. From before the retrial.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,547 ✭✭✭Pauliedragon


    No idea it was just mentioned in a couple of papers with no explanation.

    from the web- my understanding is that this is purely a condition for the probationary period only and not something that will continue after the probationary period ends in June 2025 I think

    “It is a standard requirement that a probation refrain from contact with other people with criminal records for the duration of their probation. It is believed that contact with other felons increases the likelihood that a felon will reoffend.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,855 ✭✭✭FishOnABike


    I think it is a common probation condition that a parolee cannot associate with a known felon.

    Article behind a paywall but in essence it’s saying that Mollys family will be keeping a very close eye on her- there’s “rumours” of a tell all book or TV production — she’ll be living with her brother at least for the duration of the parole period- I imagine the book or tv deal is speculation only at this point -obviously Molly is broke given the costs of the legal defence-

    I imagine this will be a big strain on her brothers family- we know Molly is prone to pushing boundaries in her own twisted world and it’s been that way since her childhood - living with her won’t be easy and I reckon she’ll be back to true form in no time- there’s likely any number of weirdos out there who would happily commence a relationship with her so it will be a full time job keeping her on the straight and narrow- she’s probably more of a danger now than she ever was.

    I hope the family have learned that outsourcing her to a husband or partner doesn’t make her issues go away.

    Unfortunately she is an attention seeker so will seek out media coverage etc. The Indo will follow her every move as it results in clicks but if you want to do right by the Corbett family, don’t click, don’t share. Ignore the Martens, let the Corbetts move on. Hopefully the papers will stop pushing this stuff and the Martens will just fade into obscurity.

    I'm no lawyer and I know it's been done before but I thought there was a law that says you can't profit from your crime?

    Not sure what the laws are over there and how this might play out - I’m guessing there’s still legal bills to pay -so even if a deal is done for a ghost writer or cooperation with a tv feature, the proceeds are likely going to pay bills.

    I found this with a quick search - “son of Sam” laws they call it - not sure if it applies to all states though or if it’s still a thing - someone more experienced with US law might chime in so happy to stand corrected

    This story gets worse and worse,

    https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/molly-martens-emptied-30000-from-joint-bank-account-within-days-of-battering-husband-jason-corbett-to-death/a922432807.html

    Behind paywall, but this as well,

    "However, Molly – who still insists on being referred to in official documents as “Molly Corbett” – was denied a €500,000 life insurance payment by a US firm after her husband’s death.The firm refused to pay out on a policy issued on the life of Mr Corbett, given that he had been killed by his wife and father-in-law.The 2017 Davidson County murder trial heard that the policy was initially created to offer 50pc of the benefits to Molly and 50pc to Mr Corbett’s children in the event of his death.However, in the weeks before Mr Corbett’s death, the policy was remotely accessed and the two children were removed as beneficiaries – leaving the entire proceeds to Molly.It could not be determined who had made the changes to the policy."

    And,

    "In the 48 hours after killing her husband, Molly spent €5,000 from their joint bank account to pay for a forensic “deep clean” of the house where she and her father bludgeoned Mr Corbett to death."

    I love the top 3 comments - people paid money just to troll the Martens😀 - hope they’re bankrupt and destitute with every disease known to man inflicting them - it still won’t be good enough for them

    Watched a fair bit of that Netflix programme. Need to watch in full and again. So far not impressed with some perspectives



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,595 ✭✭✭Azatadine


    Yeah, agree. Just finished it now. Certainly does leave an air of "questions" about some stuff. Kind of a bit of a questionable spin.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,746 ✭✭✭Musicrules


    Haven't seen it. Which side is it being spun for and how?

    Watched the doc tonight. The doc in itself is unbiased but the overwhelming evidence and perspectives shared highlight the Martens to be utter scum.

    Prior to watching it I wondered how much Molly led her father down the garden path but that lie he spouted about Mag's father was explicit and manipulative.

    Some of those "domestic violence" tapes we had heard about in the media were played and IMO didn't do anything but depict a run of the mill couple argument. A non story.

    What a fucked up family the Martens are.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,671 ✭✭✭ceadaoin.


    Just finished watching this. Im sorry to say that I hadnt really heard anything about this case besides seeing this thread title on here but never reading it. I just feel so so sorry for Jack and Sarah, and for Jason's family and friends, but at the same time I'm glad that they have been raised with their family who love them. The martens are scum who basically got away with murder imo
