"This Isn't Just About My Family"

Update posted by Connor Martens

Connor Martens recently posted this to FB and it is without question a MUST READ for every US Citizen:

This picture was taken a month before the trial at a wedding I took Molly Martens Corbett to in Charleston. As you can imagine it was difficult to escape the anxiety of 12 strangers determining your life, but we never could have imagined what has happened.


With all of that said, this post isn't about the conditions of the North Carolina Correctional Facility. It isn't just about domestic abuse. It isn't about the ineptitude of a rural county investigation or the prosecution preventing evidence from being presented. It isn't even about whether they're guilty or innocent. At this point, it is about every American and their right to a fair trial.

1) the basic premise of serving on a jury is to NOT construct your own theory

2) The judge's instructions specifically say they could not consider Molly to be the "aggressor." Another juror has declared Molly to be manipulative and bi polar. She did not testify nor did any witness testify to her character in any way. Again, it does not take a legal mind to understand this is unlawful.

Lastly, another juror on 20/20 made the statement the defense failed to prove them innocent. Every hour of the near 4 week trial, the jury was reminded that it is the state's burden to prove the defendants guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The defense has NO burden meaning they do not have to prove anything. Did you know in the state of North Carolina juries are not sequestered even for a murder case?


This isn't just about my family.
