The family of Jason Corbett has opened up about why they chose to take part in A Deadly American Marriage.
Jason's two children, Sarah and Jack, have given exclusive interviews in the Netflix documentary.
Jason's sister and her husband also feature in the true crime documentary.
The family issued a statement ahead of the documentary's release.
They said they took part to honour Jason, but also hope the documentary will raise awareness.
They explained:
"Participating in the Netflix documentary was important to us because it highlights the profound impact of the absence of justice we faced in the judicial system.
“We are not alone in our experiences. We hope the documentary honours Jason’s memory while advocating for justice and ensuring that the voices of victims are heard, especially when the judicial system has failed them.”
"Jason would have wanted us to speak out on his behalf," they added.
"Though he may have been silenced, it is our responsibility to continue speaking on his behalf, they explained.
They also hope to support other victims of injustice by sharing their story.
‘When Irish widower and father of two young children Jason Corbett found love again with his American au pair, Molly Martens, in 2008, their relationship seemed ripped from the pages of a storybook. The couple, along with Jason’s kids, Jack and Sarah, moved from Ireland to North Carolina to build a new life together.
‘But on August 2, 2015, their idyllic tale took a dark turn when Jason was killed in a violent altercation at home. The perpetrators? Molly and her father, Thomas Martens — a former FBI agent.’
The documentary will shed light on the many questions that have lingered following the events of that night.
A Deadly American Marriage airs on Netflix on May 9th.
