Former FBI agent, his daughter found guilty of murdering her husband

When the verdict was announced, Molly Corbett was heard saying, “I’m really sorry to my mom, he should have just killed me.”

Today, both received the same sentence of a minimum of 20 years in prison and a maximum of 25 years, which had been recommended by the prosecution.

Martens and Molly Corbett alleged that on Aug. 2, 2015, Martens came to his daughter’s defense after Jason Corbett allegedly attacked her. In a 911 call from that night, Martens is heard telling the operator that he hit Jason Corbett “in the head with a baseball bat.”

“He was choking my daughter, he said, ‘I’m going to kill her,'” Martens told 911 that night. “He’s bleeding all over and I may have killed him.”

During the trial, the jury was shown the recovered baseball bat and a paving stone prosecutors said Molly Corbett used to hit her husband. The medical examiner report said Jason Corbett was hit at least 10 times and the cause of death was ruled to be from blunt force trauma.

Prosecutors called it a brutal murder, with investigators testifying that Molly Corbett and her father didn’t appear to have any injuries. The defense, on cross-examining a crime scene investigator on the case, argued that the investigator failed to collect or notice evidence that night, including an alleged mark on Molly Corbett’s neck, hair under Jason Corbett’s fingernails and blood on Jason Corbett’s feet — all allegedly pointing to a struggle.
