Sarah Corbett Lynch was just eight-years-old when her father Jason was killed at their home in North Carolina by her stepmother Molly Martens and her father Tom Martens in 2015. Over the next decade, the Martens, who claimed self defence, were put on trial for murder, had their convictions quashed and later took a plea bargain for voluntary manslaughter which saw each of them spend less than five years in prison.
For all of that time, Corbett Lynch and her older brother Jack had to remain silent on the case, but now, in her new memoir ‘A Time For Truth', she tells her story for the first time. In this episode, she joins Róisín Ingle to discuss the heartbreak and loss that has defined her young life and shares her account of the events leading up to the night her father was killed.
But first, Irish Times podcast presenter Bernice Harrison is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week including the Dublin Rape Crisis centre’s response to Conor McGregor at the White House, Millie Bobby Brown’s plea to the media and why everyone's talking about the new Netflix show Adolescence.
