DAVIDSON COUNTY, N.C. — The NC Court of Appeals overturned murder convictions of Molly Corbett and Thomas Martens.
Corbett and her father, Thomas Martens, were both found guilty of second-degree murder in the death of Molly's husband, Jason Corbett, back in August 2015. Prosecutors said Jason was beaten to death with a brick paver and a baseball bat by his au-pair-turned-wife Molly Corbett and her father, former FBI agent, Tom Martens. Molly Corbett and Martens maintained they killed Jason in self-defense after he tried to strangle Molly.
