Molly’s lawyers in new row
MOLLY Martens’s lawyers have l ashed out at the courts over the handling of the Jason Corbett murder case.
A motion was filed on Monday by attorney Walter Holton and asked that Clerk of Superior Court Brian Shipwash be removed from the case.
The legal team has accused the clerk of court and a lawyer representing her late husband’s estate with hiding unethical, secretive conversations.
The motion has also asked for Mr Shipwash to hand over all his communications about i t and f or a j udge to re - examine decisions about the guardianship of Jason Corbett’s two children.
Mr Holton cl ai ms t hat ‘conduct by the Clerk is so
egregious as to necessitate the disqualification of Mr Shipwash f rom any f uture proceedings in this matter’.
Mrs Martens, 32, and her father Tom, 65, were charged with one count each of second degree murder and voluntary manslaughter of her Irish husband Mr Corbett in January this year.
They have formally lodged not guilty pleas.
