Overview
- The Tarn assize court reached its verdict after roughly six hours of deliberation, with at least seven of nine members required to vote for guilt.
- Jurors convicted despite the absence of a body, relying on circumstantial findings including a tracking dog indicating Delphine did not leave the home the night she vanished.
- The 30-year sentence matches the term requested by the prosecution following a four-week trial.
- Jubillar continues to deny the killing, as his lawyers argue the case rests on an insufficient bundle of indicators rather than definitive proof.
- A new jury is expected to rehear the case in 2026, likely in Toulouse, after the defense promptly announced its appeal.
