Killing of Jason Corbett

Rare card · No. 23785

On 2 August 2015, Jason Corbett, a 39‑year‑old Irish man, was killed at his home in Wallburg, North Carolina. Investigations later established that his death resulted from a physical assault carried out by his wife, Molly Martens Corbett, and her father, Thomas Martens. The circumstances of Corbett's death received widespread media attention in Ireland. Martens and Thomas were found guilty of second‑degree murder in 2017, but their convictions were later overturned by the North Carolina Court of Appeals. After accepting plea bargains to reduced charges, both were released from prison in 2024.
