Jury foreman: You saw tears. There were tears. I even had a few tears there while the verdicts were being ran through. Mike Earnest: Well, my impression was that things seemed to be OK. I don't know if they seemed to be great. I did see occasions where … there seemed like there were issues coming up. Ms Parker said Sharon Martens statement that "I wasn’t aware of any physical violence", and her subsequent statements that she suspected there was physical violence against her daughter by Jason Corbett, was more about her state of mind on the night of Mr Corbett’s death. Dr Hampton drew gasps of disbelief and ironic laughter from Jason Corbett’s family, friends and some former neighbours and work colleagues when the expert said: “I believe it’s a measure of how terrified Tom and Molly were.”

He will never know I wrote a book in his honour. I will never get to tell him how much I admire him. Or how I wish I had his courage. I know in my heart he tried to leave that bedroom. He didn’t choose to leave us; he was taken from us. HE was the victim. She betrayed me again and again – and even shared a note I left with her, the last time I saw her. And she did all this to get publicity for her lies about my father. There was nothing I could do to stop her. I was eight years old,” said Sarah.

I am 17 and I need you to listen and believe me as I stand on front of you right here and now. Me, MY VOICE, unencumbered by fear. I am begging you to restore my faith in justice, in humanity, and give me time to heal without sharing the free world with my father’s killers. Mike Earnest: I think, you know, she maybe was looking for something different, and that this might get her involved, too, in something that I think she was passionate about, which is children. While my friends are out having fun and going to parties, I am 17 years old, and in therapy learning how to live with the fact that I lied and helped the Martens escape full justice for taking my father’s life. Molly Martens Corbett's defence lawyer read extracts from a statement Sharon Martens had given to police the night Mr Corbett was killed. At the end of the eight-day sentencing hearing for Molly Martens and her father, Tom, the truth of what happened the night of Jason Corbett’s death – not the how, but the why – is as obscured as ever in a maelstrom of high emotion and competing narratives.

A wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of Jason's children was settled by Tom Martens. There was no admission of wrongdoing by Tom or Molly. It was only when I went to live with Tracey and David in Ireland that I knew the true meaning of family. I now know what a loving mother is. I’ve always known a loving father and Dave is that now too. Both the father and daughter are due to appear before Judge David Hall today for a retrial hearing after their original 2017 conviction for the second degree murder of Mr Corbett was quashed by the North Carolina Supreme Court two years ago.

They have both entered guilty pleas to manslaughter charges, in return for the District attorney dropping murder charges. Molly Corbett and Tom Martens continue to give Davidson County investigators a blow-by-blow account of what they say happened that night in that bedroom. By now, they've washed off Jason's blood:

His wife Molly Martens Corbett and her father, former FBI agent Tom Martens, were later tried and convicted on charges of second degree murder and voluntary manslaughter. This is now a statutory aggravating factor in North Carolina, but that was not the case at the time of the killing. Jason Corbett was found dead at his home in North Carolina in August 2015Tracey Lynch: The memories just float to the surface, and you know, they'll always be part of our lives. Did the foreman just admit the jury discussed the case prior to deliberations? If so, that would be a direct violation of the judge's daily instructions to wait. At that hearing, the possibility remains that more could be known about when such a retrial might take place. The grief ruins even the special days. My experience shadows my life; Every moment of it is changed.

Defence lawyers will maintain there were mitigating factors that should be taken into account. The judge said that a defendant with the worst record could face up to 204 months or 17 years in prison. I know what Molly Martens is capable of, I remember. I remember I was encouraged to be disrespectful to him, to call him fat but I still felt comfortable enough to shout and express myself at my Dad because I did not fear HIM.

Tracey Lynch: Absolutely. Tracy Lynch told "48 Hours" she feared Molly would kill Jason's children. Molly and Tom Martens spent the night in Davidson Country Jail and are expected to be transferred to state correctional facilities later today.
