Court Bans Filmed Images at Jubillar Trial After TV Broadcast Violates Rules

The high-profile hearing advances on circumstantial evidence with technical phone analysis central to the first week.

Overview

  • Judges in Albi ordered cameras off for the remainder of the trial after a Quotidien segment captured a private exchange between Cédric Jubillar and his lawyers, and the show's reporters lost their accreditation.
  • Defense attorney Alexandre Martin said he will file a complaint over the broadcast, which the court deemed contrary to rules protecting confidential attorney–client discussions.
  • Investigators detailed phone data they say contradicts Jubillar’s account, including his handset being powered off from 22:08 to 03:53 and 184 calls plus four texts to his wife’s number between 03:53 and 08:12.
  • Gendarmes say Delphine’s Huawei showed a “necessarily human” activation at 06:52 before shutting down at 07:48, while geolocation requests kept the device within roughly 300 meters of the home.
  • Key gaps persist with no recovered body, late seizure of Delphine’s broken glasses, an unexamined home internet box, disputed reports of a moved car and nighttime cries, and an “expert” intervention discredited by the public prosecutor; the owner of a cited white van is expected in court on October 7.
