Overview

• Cédric Jubillar’s trial in the Tarn assizes continues through October 17, with the court set to hear on Monday from two neighbors whose accounts of 'cries of fear' are central to the prosecution.
• The defense is preparing to challenge those accounts on timing and plausibility, citing inconsistencies with the TV broadcast schedule, the claimed duration of the cries, and the absence of other corroborating witnesses.
• A December 2022 judicial reconstruction found reproduced cries were clearly audible at about 130 meters, and investigators point to Delphine’s broken glasses found in the living room as context for a possible altercation.
• On day eight, an assistant childminder testified that Jubillar once boasted he would have 'done better' than Jonathann Daval, a remark he denied in court as a lie used against him.
• The court heard a recording made roughly 33 hours after the disappearance in which Jubillar spoke of his wife in the past tense and said he had doubts without proof, while a friend testified he once claimed to have killed her, a statement the defense characterized as irony.
