The trial of Molly Martens

Prison Penpal stuff right here, when you really boil it down.

you can't seem to answer the question

its evidence it was there, not why it was there

no the defense pathologist stated it was probably homicide

the prosecution should have corrected this

the prosecution pathologist evidence added nothing to why she would believe that he had murdered his wife, given they were saying this in 2023, given no one actually believes he murdered his wife, no one, no even molly, she would have had no reason to think that

The pathologist didn't rules out asthma, in any way, just that there was no cause of death

Molly has shown herself to be a liar, so is an unreliable witness

The moment she decided

yes why decide on the night to drive i think 500k to bring over a baseball bat, I think on a week night, out of the blue, it wasn't like it was across town

then to hide evidence, to lie etc, to try and keep the kids, to make the kids lie, to hit the kids shout at them

all just before your husband was going to leave you

I mean you are really clutching

the blood splatter evidence showed he was in bed when attacked

so they are lying is what you are saying

So you believe their 2015 statements were truthful?

we know you cannot tell us if you believe yesterday’s versions, as this hurts your defence of two killers.

If you believe their 2015 statements, you are telling us that they lied yesterday?

tell ya, I’d hate to think any Corbett family members were reading some of the guff you’ve been spreading here that is subtle, but deliberate in your defending his killers

"Jason Corbett had a suitcase packed at the door. His computer showed he had searched flights back to Ireland for the next day for himself & his two young children, leaving Molly Martens. In #domesticviolence relationships, the most dangerous time is when you attempt to leave."

Didn't know that. Another damning piece of evidence if true.

Makes sense with what happened. Molly realised he was going and rang her father in a panic to tell him Jason was taking the kids back to Ireland the next day. Tom martens dropped everything and rushed to her house.

Yep. Always most volatile time is when the victims try to leave.

Well, this is unequivocal for me. You don’t believe their statements yesterday.

I must have missed the judge pouring doubt on the children’s statements yesterday. How did he do that?

in case you missed it: Jack said he lied in 2015, and you disbelieve him, saying this is a lie.

Well no the Judge has stated he would doubt them and they were irrelevant to the hearing anyway.

I'm not the Judge.

If the kids believe the statements and it helps them draw a line under this than that's all that really matters, agreed?

no they felt they should have been admitted as evidence, up to whoever to decide on which was correct

this is a fair assessment

He's out in a few months possible 6-7 and she's looking at 4 - 6 years not bad for murder

Following submissions about whether the children had been coached or conditioned to say things that favoured Martens Corbett and or her father Tom Martens in their interviews with social workers in the days immediately after the death of their father, Judge David Hall said there were indications that proved both the accuracy of what they said, and of coaching, either direct or indirect.

But, on balance, he said that he found there was not enough time to successfully coach such young children in such a detailed presentation of facts.

He also said that, if the prosecution were alleging that the children could have been coached or influenced to make statements in the course of four or five days, then that also applied to the recantation statements that were made from the other side of the ocean months and years after the death of Mr Corbett.

Again, I am not the Judge.

If any of the Corbett family read here, I'd like them to know that the 2 victim impact statements really moved me to tears.

They were so powerful and gave a vivid picture of the kind of man their dad was and the loving bond they had.

I felt there was a theme of guilt running through the statements but those 2 young people have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about.

They were so brave to go back to America, which in itself must have been very traumatic and then to face the 2 people who ended their dad's life, that took so much courage.

Molly and Tom Martens are the ones who should feel guilt and shame. And I hope when they listened to those powerful statements that they felt just that. And to anyone who helped conceal anything that helped mitigate the Martens (missing laptops etc), I hope they all will examine their conscience now.

I have a feeling all will not be rosey for the Martens now given that Jason's voice has now been heard (through his children).

Initially with this case, I bought the narrative that Molly had this selfish love for the children and was terrified that they would taken away from her (still no excuse obviously but some sort of warped explanation).

However, from the kid's statements and the stories of cruelty, manipulation and mind games, she didn't love anyone only herself.

I'm glad those stories have come to light. It paints a very clear picture of the life that those kids and their dad had to endure.

I hope this will bring some sort of peace to the children and whole Corbett family now.

In happier news, that scumbag Puska was found guilty or murder today!

Agreed, consummate liars, and convicted killers, don’t have a lot of credibility.

I followed the case from the very beginning. Yes Jason died in a brutal way and my immediate thougt was, they must have been in complete fear and panic. A doctor actually said that.. The injuries Jason sustained only show how Terrified Molly and her Father were.

It is a sad case but, nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors!?
