The trial of Molly Martens

anyone else find in the documentary that the police interviews with replies were really hard to hear?

surprised they didn’t have subtitles

In addition to all their lies more bullshit mollies mother awoke then slept again while a violent murder happened upstairs.

Imagine Jason waiting till the one night his in laws were randomly staying over to try kill her.

He had years to do it but he wanted for the night she had backup.

He must have been blinded by that a$$ though as I'd say she was a walking red flag.

Interesting how a US publication looks at the documentary - for them it’s just another weird American story- and in fairness they have no skin in the game, it’s just another news item - I must say Molly is great at the olde lies - reminds me of Samantha Cooke and her pathological lying - same MO but much more dangerous obviously.

I can’t see Molly leaving the media spotlight yet- there’s too much money to be made and she needs to be able to make her own money - she doesn’t have a murder conviction now- a simple manslaughter with less than 5 years served - so American publications would certainly take her on I reckon - if she does write a book, be ready for the greatest work of fiction ever to be written - and if this article is anything to go by (she gets off way too lightly in my view in this article but I appreciate the whole documentary is pretty much let the viewer make their own mind up ) American media will lap it up.

Here’s the sort of lies Molly is capable of:

“I wanted to adopt them because they were my children,” Molly said in the documentary, adding that she and Jason had discussed including an adoption ceremony as part of their wedding. “There was a lot of promises that were broken, but that was a big one."

Considering how we dismissed the French for doing the same with Ian Bailey (not even an Irish citizen), I couldn’t see us doing the same thing.

Bailey was never charged or prosecuted, also the fact he was a British citizen is one of the reasons he wasn't extradited.

The Martens eventually plead guilty under plea bargains.

An extradition attempt would be unconstitutional under the 5th Amendment.

Or what is referred to as double jeopardy law.

And they specifically set up this idea that she had established code words and hidden phone numbers with the children for when anything dangerous was happening in the home….so surely if she woke up and heard fighting she would go check on the kids no?

You can be sure her job was to watch for the kids waking up while they were killing Jason. Claiming she went back to sleep while her husband ran upstairs with a baseball bat is both absurd and the perfect excuse for not having to answer any questions. They had it well planned out.

Highly irresponsible of Netflix to give the Martins a platform for their lies and scurrilous accusations. When it's dollars vs ethics we generally get only one winner these days.

Reading back trough posts. Some here really pushing and condoning and excusing the absolute scum killers. Make ya sick reading some a the posts.

Watched this last night and those lawyers the Martins' got for their appeal were proper low-life's. Almost everything they said was ridiculous - The bit that took the biscuit for me was when one of them talked about how traces of urine on the pajamas that Molly Martins was wearing at the time Jason Corbett was killed proves that she had lost consciousness during the altercation - When it had never been part of the Martins' story that she had lost consciousness. 🙃

Having said that, the US police did **** up when they conducted the young fellas testimony recantation interview via video link.

Just finished the Netflix doc too. Just seems crazy that the half baked contradictory defense story seemed to work for them. I was physically angry watching it. The scene with the family driving to give the victim impact statement really hit me emotionally too. The kids are so strong fair play to them

They were representing a foreigner against an ex-FBI agent - they were a quadreplegic tryna climb Everest solo.

I felt for the DA when he was talking about the case he is obviously still effected by what happened with the appeal etc
