In Jason's Name
Summary
This episode details the 2015 murder of Jason Corbett, whose wife Molly and father-in-law Tom Martins claimed self-defense after he allegedly attacked them. Convicted of second-degree murder, the pair served time before winning a new trial due to procedural errors. In 2023, both pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter, dropping the murder charges. The story explores conflicting narratives of abuse versus premeditated violence over custody of Jason’s children.
