Molly Corbett and Thomas Martens will make their first appearance on Wednesday in Davidson Superior Court since their murder convictions were overturned.
The father and daughter are currently in the Davidson County Jail with no bond allowed on charges of second-degree murder in the 2015 death of Irish businessman Jason Corbett. The N.C. Supreme Court upheld a decision by a lower appellate court to overturn the murder convictions and send the case back to Davidson County for a possible retrial.
Garry Frank, Davidson Countyâs district attorney, said Monday that a bond hearing will be held at 2 p.m. in Davidson Superior Court. The hearing will determine what amount of bond, if any, should be set for Molly Corbett and Martens.
