Their attorneys asked for bond to be set at $200,000 or even lower, saying that they posed no threat to the community and did not pose a flight risk.
Assistant District Attorney Alan Martin recited the graphic details of what Molly Corbett and Martens were accused of doing to Jason Corbett and argued that the nature of the crime, the weight of the evidence and their financial resources called for a bond of $1 million each for the father and daughter.
Jason Corbett, 39, was found beaten to death in the early morning hours of Aug. 2, 2015 in the Davidson County home he shared with his wife, Molly Corbett, and his two children, Jack and Sarah, from his first marriage. Molly Corbett had been hired as an au pair for Jasonâs children while Jason lived in Ireland, and they began dating. They married in 2011 and moved to the Meadowlands, a golf community in Davidson County. Prosecutors said Molly Corbett and Martens beat Jason to death with a baseball bat and a paving brick. They said the two crushed Jasonâs skull and hit him at least 12 times in the head.
