Molly Martens and her father Thomas scheduled to stand trial again for second-degree murder next month
The father and daughter are due to go on trial for a second time over the death of Ms Martens’ husband, with the case scheduled for early November in Forsyth County, North Carolina. A hearing regarding the case is expected to take place on October 30th in Winston-Salem.
In general, in the US legal system, a plea agreement is essentially a bargain between prosecutors and the defence in which an accused person pleads guilty to some or all charges in return for some concessions. The father and daughter maintained that they had acted in self-defence, with Mr Martens claiming Mr Corbett had violently attacked his daughter.
