Show Notes
Molly Martens and her father Thomas Martens have agreed a plea deal with prosecutors in the United States to accept a lesser manslaughter charge over the 2015 killing of Molly’s husband, Limerick man Jason Corbett. The pair were convicted of second-degree murder in 2017 but were successful in having the conviction overturned.
Irish Times Washington correspondent Martin Wall has been in court all week in Lexington, North Carolina for the sentencing hearing. He describes the extensive video evidence shown to the court and the disturbing statements given by the Martens as they attempt to convince the judge that they deserve a sentence at the lower end of the scale. Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by John Casey.
