The Murder of Jason Corbett | Murder or Self Defense?

Timestamp to get straight to the case: (5:38)

In 2008, Irish man Jason Corbett placed an ad for an au-pair to assist him in raising his two young children Sarah and Jack. Jason’s first wife Margaret had passed suddenly in 2006, leaving him widowed with two small children.

American woman Molly Martens answered the ad. She moved from her Tennessee home to Limerick, Ireland to live with the Corbett family.

Molly and Jason fell in love and decided to move back to America to get married and settle.

Their marriage soon soured - Jason was resistant to Molly adopting his children. Molly would regularly make comments about Jason’s weight.

One night in August 2015, Molly’s father Tom was staying with the family in the Corbett home. He called 911 and reported that there had been an altercation at the home and he had acted in self-defense. When authorities arrived, Jason was pronounced dead.

In 2017, Molly and Tom ended up being convicted of Jason’s murder. In 2023, they both took plea deals in the case and were resentenced. They were freed from prison in 2024.

This case is in the media again due to the new Netflix documentary titled ‘ A Deadly American Marriage.’
