"There is no joy or pride in the verdict of this trial. Just grief... just grief. “This jury has determined that Jason didn’t have to die. That his kids didn’t deserve to lose their father.”Jason’s sister Tracey Lynch spoke about the impact the Limerick man’s death had on the family. She said:
“Jason was my favourite brother. We were so proud of him, he was charismatic. "We will never get over Jason's death. He was beaten and battered in his own home. "There really are no adequate words to describe the pain, agony and despair of Jason's murder. “August the 2nd will be imprinted in our minds for all the wrong reasons.”The State attorney also read out a letter from Jason’s son, Jack. It read:
"I will never be able to give him a hug, to give him a present, to help me up when I'm down. "He will never watch me grow into a teenager, see me get married, or catch a ball. "She (Molly) has put this burden on this family, and it will not be done until she is put away. "She will always be remembered as a murderer."Both Molly and her father had denied the second degree murder of dad of two Jason two years ago. The two of them had claimed self defence during the trial. Jason Corbett was found at his home in North Carolina on August 2, 2015 after he sustained fatal head injuries. Evidence during the trial had shown that Mr Corbett had received at least ten blows to the head from a baseball bat and cement brick.
