Overview

• Entering its third and penultimate week, the trial shifts to a final round of witnesses and experts before Cédric Jubillar’s scheduled interrogation on Friday.
• Delphine’s lover testified that she had received threats from her husband and said he holds the personal belief that Cédric harmed her.
• The witness denied ever going to Cagnac-les-Mines, while the defense asserted that his number appears in a list of 551 lines connecting to a cell covering the Jubillar home the night she vanished.
• Defense lawyers claimed a police report analyzing the lover’s line was removed from the case file, an allegation that now requires verification and which the witness suggested could have a technical explanation.
• Prosecutors previously said telephony placed the lover at home and his vehicles did not move that night; upcoming testimonies include neighbors who reported hearing cries, a glasses expert, the accused’s mother, and former cellmates before the October 17 verdict.
