Overview

• On Tuesday in Albi, Delphine Jubillar’s siblings addressed the court, with one calling Cédric Jubillar a liar and others describing a distant household and alleged slaps to their son.
• From the dock, the defendant denied any role in his wife's disappearance, admitted coarse language and some physical reprimands, and portrayed Delphine as the primary decision-maker at home.
• Defense counsel moved to counter the family’s account by presenting telephone intercepts to the court.
• Later in the hearing, judges played a December 17, 2020 recording in which Jubillar spoke about his marriage in the past tense and said he was sure his wife had someone in her life.
• The audio also included references to selling the family home and audible crying that the cousin described as tearless, while the accused remained impassive during playback.
