Jason Corbett’s family have flown to North Carolina for the hearing at the Davidson County Superior Court in Lexington.

Molly Martens and her father — who are accused of murdering Irishman Jason Corbett in the US — could avail of a plea deal to get a lighter sentence at their retrial today.

He had been beaten to death with a concrete paving slab and a metal baseball bat. His American wife, former beauty queen Molly Martens , and her ex-FBI agent father Tom Martens were convicted of second-degree murder in 2017. They appealed and the North Carolina Supreme Court subsequently quashed the convictions.

Last week assistant district attorney Alan Martin declined to discuss the case. But in legal circles in North Carolina there have been reports that prosecutors and defence lawyers may be in discussion about a potential plea arrangement which would avoid the time and expense of a retrial.
