Overview

• The court is set to hear former Toulouse prosecutor Dominique Alzeari on Monday at the request of Cédric Jubillar’s lawyers, who say his June 18, 2021 press conference prejudiced their client.
• During a tense first week, the defense sharply questioned the lead gendarmerie investigator, who maintained that all collected elements point toward Jubillar.
• Prosecutors have highlighted witness accounts of repeated insults and explicit threats toward Delphine as part of their motive theory, even as no body has been found.
• Jubillar, 38, has twice reaffirmed his innocence during the trial and has been in custody since June 2021, with a verdict expected on October 17.
• The proceedings have also revisited the case’s unusual trajectory, including Jubillar being heard as a partie civile on April 30, 2021 before his June 16 arrest and indictment for alleged spousal murder.
