Overview

• The court resumes its recapitulatory questioning on Monday with a focus on the night of 15–16 December 2020, after a psychiatric expert presents conclusions on the accused's criminal responsibility.
• Cédric Jubillar maintains his innocence and has given largely minimal answers in court, repeating that he did not kill Delphine.
• Prosecutors rely on a cumulative body of evidence, including the accused’s phone being off from about 22:08 to 03:53, 184 calls sent on restart, a car found repositioned, Delphine’s broken glasses, and reported screams at night.
• Recent testimony includes the mother’s account of a prior threat and an ex-partner’s claim of a confession, both contested by the accused, while the defense argues the case lacks a body and material proof.
• Parties civiles are set to plead before the prosecutors’ réquisitions midweek, the defense will argue on Thursday, and the verdict is expected on Friday 17 October, with life imprisonment at stake if convicted.
