Episode 5 - State of North Carolina v. Molly Martens Corbett and Thomas Martens: Selfishness, Not Self-Defense

In Episode 5, Lisa and Kyle look at the case of State of North Carolina v. Molly Martens Corbett and Thomas Michael Martens. Martens, a former FBI agent, and his daughter are awaiting re-trial for murder in North Carolina. In the early morning hours of August 2, 2015, Molly's husband, Jason Corbett was beaten to death with a paver wielded by his wife and a child's bat wielded by his father-in-law, Martens. Their self-defense claims were quickly rejected by investigators, who presented the case to a grand jury that indicted the pair for 2nd Degree Murder and Voluntary Manslaughter. Kyle and Lisa talk about the evidence against Molly and Martens, their initial trial and state appellate claims and the appellate court decisions that granted their new trial requests.
