About this episode

American father and daughter Tom and Molly Martens have made a plea bargain deal with North Carolina prosecutors which could see them win their freedom despite admitting they killed tragic dad of two Jason Corbett.


Retired FBI agent Tom and his daughter Molly both pleaded guilty to voluntary man slaughter in a move which is sure to devastate the family of Jason back in Ireland.


So what does the plea bargain mean and how have Prosecutors accepted to drop the murder charges against the pair.


Nicola speaks with with Niall Donald about the latest revelations in the case and return to interview with journalist Lynne Kelleher who gathered the murder files, interviews and reports around the case.
