Overview
- Cédric Jubillar was convicted in Albi and sentenced to 30 years in prison for the murder of his wife, Delphine.
- The defense has filed an appeal, and the case will be reheard at the cour d’assises in Toulouse.
- Public interest in the proceedings has been intense, with long daily queues and at least one attendee reporting about €3,000 spent to follow the trial in person.
- Observers continue to question the evidentiary basis of the verdict given the absence of a body, a confession, or clearly established crime scene traces reported in the case.
- Debate over the process includes criticism of a 2021 press conference by then‑Toulouse prosecutor Dominique Alzeari and concern about emotionally charged testimony that invoked the couple’s children.
