    Good news in the Corbett case.
    Your wan Molly Martens has been playing the victim for too long now. The poor family.

      Who knows what went on, it’ll all come out in the wash. They’re pleading self-defence. If it were me, I’d run rather than reach for the baseball bat. Sad all round.

        Yeah, who knows.. but I suppose they wouldn’t charge them if they thought their story of self defence was true.

        From my understanding investigators would reconstruct the scenario to see if the story fits. She hadn’t a mark on her. He got it to the back of the head apparently.

        Her story doesn’t seem to fit. He has no history of violence towards her.
        I think women are capable of extreme violence, just as much as men.

          Yes, I agree they are. Has she any history of violence towards him? One thing that doesn’t quite stack up in my mind is that she seems to have had a great relationship with his children. If she were an abusive character, I’d have thought the children would pick up on it, and their loyalty would lie with their father. It doesn’t bear thinking about, walloping someone in the head with a baseball bat unless your life were in immediate danger.

      It looks like they are stuck on Jihadi John. I suggest they have a list of names ready, like the one for storms, so we can keep track.

      looks like they have him nailed down already…Siddartha Dahr…a London born radical,didnt take them long in fairness.

      I don’t really care…. I’m waiting for a new Irish hit single that embraces the situation.. Seamus Moore had a record called Pakastani Pat

      Anyone else think it’s a pity that the UK media stopped giving such descriptive nicknames to ‘their own lads’ … like Bomber Harris ?
