The trial of Molly Martens

I never said that.

So who is this quote from?

“she just had to batter Jason to death”

what quote? I put a sentence in quotation marks.

😕

I asked if you think Molly was somewhat justified?

You are great for asking questions but ignore mine. I'd more echo the prosecution opinion.

Do you think she was entitled to defend herself?

Just been reading the Independent. She extracted serious amounts of money from him over the years they were together and even after his death . The man wasn't thinking straight and made poor decisions. I sincerely hope that she and her father do not walk free from this. People with no moral code. And as for the mother keeping her head down! Disgusting individuals!

Where's the evidence she needed to defend herself?

Ah. So you do think she was justified. Get ya now..unreal

She murdered a man who was vulnerable, assisted by her father in an obliteration. It was deliberate and thought out. This wasn’t her having to act in response to Jason. She initiated a killing on a man in no position to defend himself.

you believe it was self-defense, and your only issue is the over-kill aspect of it.

you’re slowly getting off the fence now.

legal fees for these two cretins must be astronomical which is about the only saving grace of this whole situation. The only way you can hurt people like these is in the pocket.

Anyone know if taking a civil case against them after this is an option? That would further damage them.

Anyone know how the ABC interview herself and her father did before the first trial not prejudicial.

I honestly thought we had resigned this type of thinking to the bin of history.

Well she couldn't have been abused because she didn't leave and her husband he looked after her is something frequently heard 4 decades ago.

It was just as abhorrent then. At least now it's not accepted.

Stop pretending

she wasn’t defending herself..

you believe she was, and you believe that she was justified in killing Jason

Going back a few years post trial- leaving aside the verdict of this trial for a minute, here’s how a few of the jurors thought about the night in question - clearly they didn’t believe Mollys attempt to plead self defence -in addition they also believed that they went above and beyond self defence anyway and of course the time they took to conspire before contacting the medical assistance- there’s nothing in the so called “new evidence” that would explain the level of violent assault and lack of contact with the medical authorities who may have been able to save Jason. None whatsoever

The three jurors said they believe Molly Corbett and her father took some time after Jason died to conspire before they called 911, and they said the prosecution’s argument that investigators said Martens and Molly Corbett didn’t appear to have any injuries was telling. Figueroa said she even believes Molly Corbett struck her husband first with the paving stone while he was sleeping.

“I think at some point Dad came to help out and cover it up,” Figueroa said. “There was blood on the pillow and on the comforter. That may have been the first blow, and then it progressed from that point where he got out of bed and she might have struck him more than one time in bed.”

“And when he got up and tried to protect himself,” Aamland added. “I believe that’s when Tom had to intervene because of the size difference of Molly and Jason.”

The fact of Molly being from a comfortable background, having strong family support and being on her own native turf might not be sufficient to facilitate her walking out, I agree . Life is not usually so straightforward. But when the other indisputable details are added to the mix, a picture emerges -an image of a couple under severe stress,experiencing intense conflict and on the verge of a breakup. Wasn't Jason planning to leave? Such a pity he didn't act more quickly!

Do “you” believe she had to defend herself and that it was her reacting to him attacking her?

So, he instigated the incident by attacking her and being a physical threat to her, resulting in her defending herself and him then losing his life.. is this what you believe?

I believe (like the jury in the trial) this to be false. Absolute lies by her and her father.

Ah OK

"just asking questions"

🙄🙄🙄

My reference to Molly's background concerned her own biological family, not her domestic life with Jason. I think it's reasonable to deduce from information in the media that she had a secure and comfortable upbringing and a continually supportive family. A person with options should a spouse display seriously violent behaviour, as alleged.Less likely to wait until matters came to a head. Not like a protagonist in an outrageous tv reality show. And wasn't Jason the person planning to leave?
