A North Carolina woman and her ex-FBI agent father have been charged in the August murder of her Irish-born husband, according to grand jury indictments unsealed Monday.

Molly Martens Corbett, 31, and Thomas Michael Martens, 65, were both charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in death of Jason Corbett, the documents reveal.

Authorities found the 39-year-old victim unresponsive, suffering from head injuries, on Aug. 2.

His wife and father-in-law were both in the home at the time, and they gave statements to police linking the death to a "domestic disturbance," authorities said at the time. Thomas Michael Martens, the retired FBI agent who reported the incident, stated that he hit his son-in-law with a baseball bat.

Molly Martens Corbett's uncle, Mike Earnest, told UTV Ireland that he expected the father and daughter to claim self-defense, stating that their actions were necessary and justified.

Corbett's death sparked a custody dispute between Molly Martens Corbett — the victim's second wife and the children's step-mother — and family in Ireland.

She worked as an au pair for the family before she started dating Jason Corbett, serving a motherly role for the young children, whose biological mother Mags died in 2006.

With the children now in the care of their Irish relatives, Molly Martens Corbett has posted dozens of reflections on social media about her time with the children, including handwritten notes in which they called her "mom."

She has also asserted her innocence.

"I cannot believe the level of slander, harassment, lies and absolute utter corruption. The truth does not matter. Shouldn't the truth matter? Shouldn't the truth prevail? Doesn't anyone care about the truth?" she wrote.

I'm guessing she laid out some oh woe is me tale about her husband being abusive and daddy lapped that shit up like the jamoke he is.
Am I the only one thinking she wants custody of the kids to get her hands on whatever finances the kids gained due to their fathers death.
She's looking more like a gold digger with a plan than a loving step mom.
 
Mr Corbett, a 39-year-old father of two, suffered fatal head injuries at his luxury suburban home in Panther Creek Court.

The father of two’s autopsy showed he died from blunt force trauma to his head.

The description of the ‘means of death’ is a ‘ball bat and landscaping stone’.

Ms Martens’s father, Thomas, made a 911 call from Mr Corbett’s family home at 3.05am on the night the Limerick man was killed and claimed to the operator there had been an argument between Jason and Molly.

‘He was choking my daughter, he said he was going to kill her,’ Mr Martens alleged in the recorded call.

The defence maintains the actions of the accused were ‘reasonable and necessary in self-defence’ of Ms Martens’s life and that of her father.

In addition to questions about the use of the baseball bat, detectives are expected to focus on the time of death and blood spatter patterns at the home.

After his death, his Limerick-based family successfully fought Ms Martens for custody of Mr Corbett’s two children from his first marriage.

Jack and Sarah Corbett are now living in Ireland with his sister-in-law Tracey Lynch and her husband David.

Ms Martens, a 31-year-old former model and her ex-FBI agent father, 65, presented themselves to the Davidson County district attorney by appointment on January 5 and surrendered themselves to answer the charges.

After being arrested, photographed and fingerprinted last month the pair were taken in handcuffs before the Superior Court.

Both applied for bail, which was not opposed, and was granted on the condition that $200,000 is lodged with the court for each defendant, that they surrender their passports and agree to cease all contact with Mr Corbett’s immediate family, specifically his children Jack and Sarah.

At the hearing yesterday, Mr Brown said both the prosecutors and defence have tried to get copies of the personnel file of Mr Martens, a former FBI agent, but could not obtain copies without a court order, which the judge granted.

order had sought details for specific FBI academy courses taken by the defendant, which included self-defence training, use of force training, decision making for use of force and any baton or impact weapon training.

Walter Holton, Ms Martens’s lawyer, motioned to subpoena records from the Department of Social Services in Davidson County and Union County shortly after the death of Mr Corbett.

The defence sought those interviews of the defendant and Jack and Sarah.

The court documents show the defence have argued that the interviews contain information regarding the events of August 2 when Mr Corbett was murdered, as well as accounts of Mr Corbett’s past treatment of his wife and children.

Mr Holton also stated that his client and her father are abiding by their bond requirement to not contact the Corbett children but wanted to make sure that no witness or potential witness in their cases is being threatened or intimidated by email or social media.

Prior to the hearing yesterday (Wednesday) Mr Martens entered from a side door with his lawyer David Freedman.

Ms Martens is understood to have entered from the rear with her lawyer Mr Holton and accompanying attorneys.

The next hearing is scheduled for April 4.

In addition to questions about the use of the baseball bat,

To the head...do you think? Couldn't have hit in the knee caps to get him to stop hitting your daughter, or even perhaps that arm that was attached to the hand and fist that we supposedly pummelling your daughter...This is me thinking that she did it and that her daddy is taking the heat for her....Go the fuck ahead old man.
 
A Davidson County, North Carolina, jury found Thomas Martens, 67, who worked with the FBI for over 30 years, and his 33-year-old daughter, Molly Corbett, guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Corbett's 39-year-old husband, Jason Corbett, meaning they unanimously believed that Jason Corbett had been killed out of malice.

Today, both received the same sentence of a minimum of 20 years in prison and a maximum of 25 years, which had been recommended by the prosecution.
