The N.C. Supreme Court ordered on Friday a new trial for Molly Corbett and Thomas Martens in the 2015 murder of Irish businessman Jason Corbett, saying that the two were denied a fair trial.
The decision comes about two months after the court heard oral arguments in the case via video due to the ongoing pandemic. In a 4-3 decision, the state Supreme Court upheld the decision by the N.C. Court of Appeals to overturn the murder convictions of Molly Corbett and Martens.
In the next three weeks, they will be moved from state prison to the Davidson County Jail. Their attorneys will ask a judge to set a bond affordable enough for them to be released from custody. In 2016, after they were charged with murder, they were each released on a $200,000 bond.
