The wife of an Irish businessman and her father entered pleas to voluntary manslaughter Monday in her husband’s beating death at their North Carolina home. Molly Corbett pleaded no contest and Thomas Martens pleaded guilty to the charge, news outlets reported. Corbett’s husband, Jason Corbett, died at their home in a golf course community in Davidson County in 2015. In 2021, the North Carolina Supreme Court reversed their convictions on second-degree murder and ordered a new trial. Jason Corbett, a native of Ireland, met Molly Corbett in 2008 when she worked as an au pair for two children from his first marriage.
