Overview
- A four-hour recap interrogation of Cédric Jubillar on Friday yielded no admissions, with questioning to resume Monday on the hours around Delphine’s disappearance.
- The court’s schedule foresees civil party pleadings early in the week, the prosecution’s summation on Wednesday, the defense’s arguments on Thursday, and a verdict expected Friday, October 17.
- Phone experts testified that Jubillar’s device was off from about 10:08 p.m. to 3:53 a.m., after which 184 calls and four texts were sent to Delphine’s phone, which the prosecution frames as an effort to erase activity.
- Other elements advanced by the prosecution include Delphine’s broken glasses assessed as consistent with impact, indications the Peugeot 207 likely warmed during the night, and neighbors reporting cries and barking.
- Jubillar repeatedly asserts innocence and disputes credibility of witnesses, notably an ex-companion who claims he said “I strangled her” and a former cellmate whose account was described in court as unreliable.
