• The assize court played Cédric Jubillar’s 17 emergency call from the night of 15–16 December 2020, capturing a shift from calm to distress.
• A letter from the couple’s 11-year-old son describing domestic violence and a dispute that evening was read aloud by the presiding judge.
• Prosecutors and civil parties highlighted alleged inconsistencies, citing a switched-off phone, post-disappearance online activity, a €900 cash withdrawal, and the later transfer of Delphine’s ring.
• During a lengthy recap interrogation, Jubillar maintained innocence while giving contradictory accounts and relying on his heavy cannabis use to timestamp the day.
