Jubillar Murder Trial Enters Final Phase With Interrogation Over, Verdict Expected Friday

The case now turns on contradictions backed by circumstantial indicators.

Overview

  • Cédric Jubillar finished his recapitulatory questioning after roughly eight hours over two days and again insisted he did not kill his wife.
  • The court played his emergency 17 call from the night of 15–16 December 2020 as prosecutors pressed inconsistencies in his account, including who walked the dogs.
  • A letter from his 11-year-old son was read in court alleging insults and physical punishment and recounting a parental dispute that night; Jubillar replied only that it was sad.
  • Behavioral and digital traces were scrutinized, including his viewing of porn sites on 16 December, confirmed use of Delphine’s bank card, and a 2021 Messenger test call the defense cited to show his reaction to a perceived sign of life.
  • An ex-partner’s statement that he confessed resurfaced as he wore a ring she gave him, and parties civiles opened their closing arguments ahead of the prosecution, the defense, and jury deliberations.
