Ex-pal of husband killer Molly Martens opens up about friendship
A former pal of evil killer Molly Martens - whom she describes as a 'pathological liar' - has said she is 'thankful' the 40 year-old is out of her life.
American woman Suzie West Vincent - who featured on the Netflix documentary 'A Deadly American Marriage' about the killing of Limerick dad of two Jason Corbett - also said her 'heart breaks' for Jason's children Jack and Sarah over the trauma they went through following their dad's killing.
The documentary, which began streaming on Netflix on Friday, May 9, has the co-operation of the Corbett family and includes interviews with Jason's orphaned children, Jack and Sarah, as well as his sister Tracey Corbett-Lynch and her husband, David Lynch and killers Molly and her dad Tom (73), a former FBI agent.
Showing never-before-seen footage surrounding the circumstances of the killing of 39-year-old Jason in the bedroom of his home in North Carolina, USA, it's expected to be one of the most-watched for the streaming giant this year.
Jason was killed in his home in North Carolina in 2015 with a concrete paving slab and a metal baseball bat.
Molly and Tom were found guilty of second-degree murder in 2017 after facing trial before their convictions were overturned. Following a legal process both agreed to a deal with prosecutors and admitted voluntary manslaughter.
Last June they were released from a North Carolina prison having served four years and three months. They continue to insist they acted in self-defence.
Now, the former pal of evil Molly's has spoken about her past friendship with Molly.
Suzie had 'loved' Molly but it broke her heart when she found out Molly lied to her so many times.
Suzie, who is a filmmaker, said Sarah was her flower girl at her wedding years ago while Molly was one of her bridesmaids. She said Jason and Jack were also guests and they all flew in from Ireland.
'After years of avoiding interviews like the plague, trying to guard my sanity, keep focused/protect my little family from further grief caused by Molly and her family I finally decided I was open to contribute," said Suzie.
'As a woman filmmaker myself I really respected the women directing/producing it. I knew they would do a good job. They sat down with me for hours and I was so impressed with their approach on showing the duality of the story,' Suzie continued.
'I know that Molly fed me many lies over the years,' continued Suzie. 'My favourite has to be when her cat ate my birthday cake!
'My least favourite was when she had me believe she had a sister that died of cancer and the big one that had me almost toast to a big lie,' she said.
'A lot of stuff was not touched on about her past relationships and the lies, oddities they encountered with her,' Suzie continued.
'Her ex Keith she miscarried with even wrote a book about her and the trauma he suffered from her mental health issues.
'What I do know is 'A Deadly American Marriage' on Netflix is definitely a quality production.
"A story I am thankful to have behind me along with certain pathological liars out of my life!"

Clothing sale will be 'largest Princess Diana auction ever'
An auction featuring more than 200 items will be the "largest Princess Diana auction ever", according to its director. Julien's Auctions' Princess Diana's Style And A Royal Collection live sale will take place in California on Thursday 26 June and will include clothing worn by the late Diana, Princess of Wales, with the aim of celebrating her style and preserving her legacy. Items include a silk floral printed day dress designed by Bellville Sassoon, estimated to fetch between 200,000 and 300,000 US dollars, and an embroidered evening gown, designed by Catherine Walker, with the same estimated selling price. Martin Nolan, co-founder of Julien's Auctions, told the PA news agency: "This is the largest Princess Diana auction ever. Diana herself did an auction in 1997 to raise money for charity, sadly two months before we tragically lost Diana. "So now we have over 100 items representing her amazing life and her career, and of course, she's the mum of the future king of England, Prince William, so we have really iconic outfits. "Diana was a style icon, she knew what to wear, when to wear it, what was appropriate, she knew how to send a message by what she was wearing. "She was very shy, but she knew by the items of clothing, it became sort of her uniform if you will and, of course, with all the amazing power suits you see behind me, the message she sent. "She knew how to dress when she went on a royal visit to Saudi Arabia, or the United Arab Emirates, and when she was going to a hospital, she knew to wear bright colours that sick children would feel that she was likeable, huggable, approachable, and she brought hope wherever she went." Up for auction will be a collection of clothes and artefacts from British royal history, including items that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and other members of the royal family, some dating as far back as the 19th century. Nolan said the market for items relating to Diana had increased thanks to Netflix series The Crown. He said: " The Crown certainly has introduced Diana to a whole new younger generation, and they relate to her and they love her, and they love her style, they love her innocence, they love her sense of fun. "They love her messaging, and they love what she had to live through, the challenges she had to deal with, and she overcame them all, and so it's a success story. "Sad ending, of course, but like the younger generation loved that, and that's why Diana's prices have been impacted so much and are increasing more and more." Elizabeth Emanuel, who designed a number of items of clothing for Diana, including her wedding dress, said: "When Diana first came to us for all of these dresses, she didn't have a lot of ideas of her own, because fashion wasn't her number one subject. "She didn't really take much of an interest in it, and we were very lucky to have been involved with her at the beginning, when she was developing her own style. "And then over the years, you could see her being more and more confident in what she was wearing and knowing her own style, so we were very lucky to have been there in the formative years." Julien's Auctions held a sale of Diana's items last year, billed as the most extensive collection of Diana's personal belongings since 1997. The auction house previously sold one of Diana's gowns for 1.14 million US dollars and a pair of her shoes for 390,000 US dollars. The live auction will take place at The Peninsula Beverly Hills, California, in the US, on Thursday 26 June.
