Episode 644: Conor McGregor handed down suspended jail sentence

In June 2024, Molly Martens and her father Tom walked free from an American jail after serving just four years and three months for killing Limerick man Jason Corbett. In recent weeks, photographs of a heavily pregnant Molly Martens have been published online and it's believed she'll give birth to her first child in late November. Yet again, Jason's children Jack and Sarah have felt compelled to speak out about the abuse they alleged to have suffered when Martens was married to their father and how they fear for any children who might come under her control. Jenny Friel speaks with journalist Lynne Kelleher, who has covered the case since the beginning and produced a television documentary for Virgin Media.   Hosted on Acast.
