Irish Businessman’s Beating Death: Wife and Father-in-Law Plead to Manslaughter
In a shocking turn of events, the wife of an Irish businessman and her father have entered pleas to voluntary manslaughter in connection with her husband’s brutal beating death at their North Carolina home.
Molly Corbett, the wife, pleaded no contest, while Thomas Martens, her father, pleaded guilty to the charge. This disturbing incident took place in 2015 at their residence in a serene golf course community in Davidson County.
According to investigators, Molly Corbett and her father, a former FBI agent, used an aluminum baseball bat and brick paver to carry out the heinous act. Their vicious assault resulted in Jason Corbett’s skull being fractured, and he sustained severe injuries to his arm, legs, and torso.
Defense attorneys argue that Molly Corbett and Thomas Martens acted in self-defense, fearing for their lives during a struggle with Jason Corbett. However, the North Carolina Supreme Court overturned their convictions on second-degree murder in 2021, ordering a new trial. Previously, they had been sentenced to 20 to 25 years in prison in 2017.
The high court highlighted the omission of statements made by the Corbetts’ two children during a medical evaluation shortly after their father’s death. These statements indicated a history of abuse by their father within the household. Prosecutors claimed that the children later recanted their statements, deeming them unreliable. Unfortunately, the trial judge excluded these crucial statements from being presented during the trial.
Jason Corbett, originally from Ireland, crossed paths with Molly Corbett in 2008 when she worked as an au pair for his two children from his previous marriage. Tragically, his first wife had passed away from an asthma attack in 2006.

The motive behind the killing is believed to be a dispute over the custody of Jason Corbett’s two children from a previous marriage. Molly Corbett and her father claimed that they acted in self-defense, stating that Jason Corbett had been physically violent towards them on multiple occasions.
However, the prosecution argued that Molly Corbett and her father had planned and carried out a premeditated attack on Jason Corbett. They presented evidence of prior conversations and actions that indicated the intention to harm him.
During the trial, the prosecution revealed that Molly Corbett and her father staged the crime scene to make it appear as though the incident was a result of a struggle between Jason Corbett and his wife. They also tampered with evidence, further undermining their claims of self-defense.
The trial was closely watched by the public both in the United States and in Ireland, where Jason Corbett was originally from. The case attracted international attention and sparked a debate about the rights of foreign nationals in the American legal system.
In August 2017, Molly Corbett and Thomas Martens were convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to a minimum of 20 years in prison. However, their convictions were later overturned on appeal due to an error in the jury selection process. The case was then retried, resulting in the recently announced guilty pleas to voluntary manslaughter.
The plea deal means that Molly Corbett and her father will avoid a third trial and the possibility of facing a jury again. They are expected to serve reduced sentences compared to their original conviction for second-degree murder.
The plea hearing is scheduled for November 2, 2023, where the judge will determine the final sentencing for Molly Corbett and Thomas Martens. The outcome of the hearing will bring closure to a tragic and deeply unsettling case that gripped both the local community and the international media.
Meanwhile, Jason Corbett’s family continues to mourn their loss and seek justice for his untimely death. They hope that the guilty pleas will provide some measure of accountability for Molly Corbett and her father and bring a sense of justice to their beloved son and brother.
