US interest in memoir written by sister of murdered Limerick man Jason Corbett

THE BEST-SELLING memoir written by the sister of murdered Limerick man Jason Corbett is in the pipeline for a US television series.

Several American film companies and internet producers are currently in negotiations for the rights to ‘My Brother Jason’ written by Tracey Corbett Lynch.

The memoir, revealing the untold story of Mr Corbett’s life and death, was a number one bestseller in Ireland.

The Irish Independent reports that a three-part internet series is also proposed. 

All proceeds from the book will go towards a special fund set up to cover the educational costs of the late Mr Corbett’s two children. 

The father-of-two from Janesboro was savagely beaten to death in the bedroom of his luxury North Carolina home in August 2015. 

His second wife, Molly Martens and her father Thomas, a retired FBI agent, are both currently serving life sentences of more than 20 years after they were found guilty of his murder at the home he shared with Martens in Wallburg, North Carolina. 

The duo claimed to have acted in self-defence although they remained uninjured. 

The pair are currently appealing their second-degree convictions, with oral arguments set to be heard on January 31.
