At Jubillar Trial, Defense Grills Ex‑Prosecutor Over 2021 Briefing as Week Two Opens

The defense used a rare summons of former Toulouse prosecutor Dominique Alzéari to challenge his 2021 press conference as prejudicial to their client.

Overview

  • The court heard Dominique Alzéari after playing his June 18, 2021 press conference, with the former prosecutor saying he presented verifiable indices and not proofs, while acknowledging possible approximations.
  • Defense attorneys accused him of spreading inaccurate or biased details, citing the alleged washing of a couette, understated step counts from a podometer, and the characterization of a dispute reported by the couple’s son.
  • Lawyers for the civil parties and the avocat général called the hearing a waste of time and a diversion, as investigators continue to argue that converging elements point to Cédric Jubillar.
  • The court was set to hear four additional witnesses focused on the investigation on Monday, with testimony from Delphine Jubillar’s family scheduled to begin Tuesday.
  • No body has been found; Cédric Jubillar denies killing his wife, has been detained since June 2021, and a verdict is expected on October 17.
