Overview

• Anne S., a close friend of Delphine Jubillar, told the Albi court that Cédric “rabaissait” his wife and that her demeanor switched off when he arrived, describing a growing rift after he failed to sign a CDI in 2020.
• She reported that Cédric said “if she has a lover, I’ll do her over,” and that he reacted to Delphine’s plan to divorce by saying he would hang himself, statements the defense questioned as retrospective interpretations.
• Anne also recounted an incident where Cédric struck their son with a sandal at a lake outing, adding to prior testimony about strict and humiliating discipline in the household.
• Jurors heard a 17 December 2020 recording in which Cédric spoke of the couple in the past tense and discussed selling the house; relatives called the tears heard on the audio performative, while he maintained silence during its playback.
• Family members testified that they distrust Cédric and described psychological violence, as he admitted coarse language and harsh parenting but denied killing his wife; colleagues and other friends are scheduled to follow, with a verdict expected on 17 October.
