Jason Corbett, an Irish businessman living in North Carolina, was brutally murdered on August 2, 2015, by his wife, Molly Martens, and her father, retired FBI agent Tom Martens. He was beaten to death in his bedroom with a baseball bat and a concrete brick. Molly and Tom claimed they acted in self-defense, alleging Jason was abusive. However, prosecutors argued the killing was motivated by a custody dispute over Jason’s two children, whom he had with his late first wife.

In 2017, both were convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to 20–25 years in prison. The convictions were later overturned, and in 2023, they accepted a plea deal for voluntary manslaughter. After serving around four years, they were released in June 2024. The case remains highly controversial, with divided public opinion over whether it was an act of protection or premeditated murder.
