A father and daughter serving 20-year prison sentences for the second-degree murder of an Irish businessman are set to have a legal challenge to their jury conviction dealt with before their full appeal is heard by a top US court.

Molly Martens-Corbett (33) and her father, retired FBI agent Thomas Martens (67), were convicted on August 9 in North Carolina of the murder of Jason Corbett (39) in 2015.
