Members of Jason Corbett’s family from Ireland were present in court for the trial and his sister Tracey Lynch testified on behalf of the prosecution. Molly Corbett did not take the stand, but the judge offered her a chance to speak after the verdict was announced.
“I did not murder my husband. My father did not murder my husband,” she said.
Molly claimed that Jason was an abusive husband and after the verdict, she told the court, “the incidents occurred as they did on a somewhat regular basis, the difference is that my father was there.”
Molly Corbett first met Jason Corbett in his native Ireland in 2008, where she went to be an au pair for his two young children after their biological mother died. Three years later, Molly and Jason Corbett got married and moved to an upscale neighborhood in Winston-Salem. After the murder, Molly Corbett fought for custody of Jason Corbett’s children but guardianship was granted to Lynch.
“Jason will be remembered for who he was, not for how he died,” Lynch said today.
