Netflix's disturbing true story, A Deadly American Marriage, took a dark turn with a 911 call that ultimately led to Tom and Molly Martens' jail sentences. In it, a chilling admission: "I hit him with a baseball bat." But beyond the words, what did their delivery reveal? Our analysis uncovers signs of delay in making the call and examines why many found their tone cold and casual in the face of death. Could their linguistic choices betray a fabricated narrative? Learn how to spot potential indicators of truth and lies within this crucial 911 call, and decide what happened that night. This gripping case is streaming now on Netflix.Want more from Never A Truer Word?

This week on The Lo Life, Lo is joined by actress, singer, producer, and fellow true crime aficionada Hayley Orrantia for a gripping episode that dives headfirst into one of the most jaw-dropping murder cases to hit both sides of the Atlantic. Dubbed the Crime Doctors, Lo and Hayley dissect the twisted tale behind Jason Corbett's brutal 2015 murder—a case re-ignited by Netflix's hit documentary A Deadly American Marriage. His wife, Molly Martens, and her ex-FBI father claim self-defense, but a global audience (and Jason's devastated family) suspect something far more sinister. Was Molly a grieving stepmom… or a manipulative murderer? Is her tearful on-screen performance Oscar-worthy or pure sociopathy? Lo and Hayley break it all down—no legal jargon, no trauma dumping—just the facts, some morally murky questions, and the signature wit you love from The Lo Life. Whether you're a seasoned sleuth or true crime–curious with a low gore tolerance, this episode is for you. Stay Connected to The Lo Life!

In this episode of the Compendium, we explore the Jason Corbett case. The harrowing tale of love, betrayal, and tragedy. Jason was an Irish widower, sought a fresh start in North Carolina with his children and new wife, Molly Martens. Their seemingly idyllic life unraveled in 2015 when Jason was found bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat and a concrete brick. Molly and her father, ex-FBI agent Tom Martens, claimed self-defense but were later convicted of second-degree murder. After appeals, their convictions were overturned, leading to a plea deal for voluntary manslaughter and their release in 2024. We delve into the complexities of this domestic violence case, the contentious custody battle over Jason's children, and the emotional aftermath that continues to haunt his family.​   We give you just the Compendium, but if you want more, here are our resources: A Deadly American Marriage (2025) – by Jessica Burgess and Jenny Popplewell Killing of Jason Corbett – Wikipedia   Host & Show Info Hosts: Kyle Risi & Adam Cox About: Kyle and Adam are more than just your hosts, they're your close friends sharing intriguing stories from tales from the darker corners of true crime, the annals of your forgotten history books, and the who's who of incredible people.

Finally, a female voice on how black love has come to the state that it is currently in by looking back to see how we got here. Join me for this in-depth discussion regarding Dr. Dianne Stewart's' book, Black Women, Black Love: America's War on African American Marriage. We go beyond just being enslaved, we cover her (and others) research from true stories via The Slave Narratives and other's biographies, and even the U.S. pension files, on how America has methodically done everything possible to keep black love as far apart and as shallow as possible from slavery up through today. Dr. Dianne M. Stewart's Bio: Dianne Marie Stewart is a professor of Religion and African American Studies at Emory University specializing in African-heritage religious cultures in the Caribbean and the Americas. She was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and grew up in Hartford, CT, USA.  She obtained her B.A. degree from Colgate University in English and African American Studies, her Masters of Divinity degree from Harvard Divinity School, and her Ph.D. degree in systematic theology from Union Theological Seminary in New York City, where she studied with well-known scholars such as Delores Williams, James Washington, and her advisor James Cone. Dr. Stewart joined Emory's Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 2001 and teaches courses in the graduate and undergraduate programs. Dr. Stewart's research has been supported by the Fulbright Scholar Program, the Abraham J. and Phyllis Katz Foundation, and other prestigious fellowships and institutions. She is the author of numerous scholarly articles and chapters, as well as three monographs—Three Eyes for the Journey: African Dimensions of the Jamaican Religious Experience (Oxford University Press, 2005), Black Women, Black Love: America's War on African American Marriage (Seal Press, 2020) and Obeah, Orisa and Religious Identity in Trinidad: Africana Nations and the Power of Black Sacred Imagination – Orisa, Volume II (Duke University Press, October 2022). She is also a founding co-editor, with Drs. Jacob Olupona and Terrence Johnson, of the Religious Cultures of African and African Diaspora People series at Duke University Press. Over her career at Emory, Dr. Stewart has won several awards including the Emory Williams Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award, the Emory College of Arts and Sciences' Distinguished Advising Award, and the Emory University Laney Graduate School's Eleanor Main Graduate Faculty Mentor Award. However, Dr. Stewart is most proud of her leadership of Emory's Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program, an international initiative that aims to diversify the academy by helping students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups to earn the Ph.D. degree and secure faculty positions at tertiary institutions across the United States and South Africa.

Jerry Jacobs Jr. is a life and marriage coach who offers radical new relationship advice to men struggling to accept their God-given roles in society and family. The modern narrative of marriage is riddled with lies and deceit. It's no small wonder many people are now finding their marriages in crisis. Jerry's coaching approach unflinchingly addresses the elephant in the room; namely that it's not all about love. His program teaches men to reconnect with their marital mission in order to emotionally connect with their wife or fiancé. Far from perfect, Jerry's own 'spiritual battle' forced him to reconcile with death, faith, and responsibility early on. He has been happily married to his wife, Mary Kathleen, for 21 years.

According to the 2010 US census, more than seventy percent of Black women in America are unmarried. Black Women, Black Love: America's War on African-American Marriage (Seal Press, 2020) reveals how four centuries of laws, policies, and customs have created that crisis. Dianne Stewart begins in the colonial era, when slave owners denied Blacks the right to marry, divided families, and, in many cases, raped enslaved women and girls. Later, during Reconstruction and the ensuing decades, violence split up couples again as millions embarked on the Great Migration north, where the welfare system mandated that women remain single in order to receive government support. And no institution has forbidden Black love as effectively as the prison-industrial complex, which removes Black men en masse from the pool of marriageable partners. Prodigiously researched and deeply felt, Black Women, Black Love reveals how white supremacy has systematically broken the heart of Black America, and it proposes strategies for dismantling the structural forces that have plagued Black love and marriage for centuries.

Today, Lewis shares the mission of the AMM and the wonderful benefits it brings to the people. Standout Quotes: “ Everybody has the right to be married regardless of who they are and to be married by whomever they want.” [Lewis] “The reality is that the world's changing. And for many people, their financial concerns are changing as well. So we need to meet people where they're at.” [Lewis] “Words matter, but it's also your relationship with the couple. You're becoming a platform or a megaphone for their emotions, commitments, and aspirations.” [lewis] Key Takeaways: American Marriage Ministries is a non-denominational church.

Celestial knows he is innocent, and their families and wider community trust that he is too, but Roy is still sentenced to twelve years in prison. After serving five years behind bars, Roy is unexpectedly set free, but things are not as he'd hoped back home in Atlanta.

Good morning, lovely book clubbers!This month, we read Violeta by New York Times bestselling author Isabel Allende. This novel tells the epic story of Violeta del Valle, a woman whose life spans one hundred years and bears witness to the greatest upheavals of the twentieth century - the dissolution of a family fortune, a tempestuous marriage interspersed with love affairs, the machinations of family and friends over a century, all set against political upheaval in her homeland, an unnamed Latin American country.Today on the show, Mich, Zara and Annabelle chat about Isabel Allende's legacy, standout characters, and the question on Mich's mind: Is Violeta a good person?To read that Isabel Allende interview with Conversations on Love, head here.Got some thoughts on our April pick, ‘An American Marriage' by Tayari Jones?
