Assistant district attorney, Alan Martin, told the Davidson County Superior Court that the Tennessee woman (40) knew ‘the endgame was coming’
The court heard that Molly Martens had told friends that Jason’s first wife Mags Corbett had begged her: 'If anything happens take care of Jason and Jack and Sarah’, but she had never met Mags. Photograph: Jerry Wolford’s children against him, before “bashing his skull” in, when she learned he wanted to take the children back to Ireland and divorce her, a court heard.
Although there were multiple recording devices all over the house, recording for several months, only one recording was produced for an expert witness in domestic violence, Dr Scott Hampton, to review. This one tape showed Jason raising his voice, but not resorting to any violence. “Adoption was her desire,” Alan Martin told the witness, and she would stop at nothing to achieve it. When the domestic violence expert said he didn’t like the word “lie” because there were good lies too, when someone is not telling the truth but they are doing it for what they believe are good reasons. He said: “Molly was all about the kids, and everyone knew that.”
Dr Hampton suggested these lies were innocuous and were about ‘future-pacing’. “This is what I want my life to be and I’m going to talk about it until it happens”. This was a further example of Molly’s “insidious” lies, Mr Martin said. “We know all these things are false.”
