Father and daughter Tom and Molly Martens have had their convictions for the murder of Irishman Jason Corbett reversed in the US.

The pair were convicted of second-degree murder following a five-week trial in 2017.

They admitted to beating the Irishman to death at his home in North Carolina in August 2015; however, they claimed they were acting in self-defence.

In a judgement, the North Carolina Court of Appeals reversed their convictions and called for a re-trial.

David Freedman, Attorney for Tom Martens joined to outline why the convictions have been reversed and are we now facing into a retrial.
