Cédric Jubillar Faces Marathon Interrogation After Exes Allege Confession

The marathon questioning signals the case entering its final week with a verdict expected on October 17.

Overview

  • The court devoted Friday largely to questioning the accused, starting after a prison psychologist presented findings and with further interrogation scheduled to continue on Monday.
  • Jubillar reiterated his innocence, said he still loves Delphine, denied killing her or using physical violence, and acknowledged frequent insults and crude jokes during their relationship.
  • An expert psychologist told the court the accused showed rigidity, little visible affect toward Delphine, and a tendency to leave no room for surprise during interviews.
  • On Thursday, ex-partner Jennifer C. testified that he told her in prison, "I strangled her," and mimed the act, which Jubillar rejected as a vengeful fabrication.
  • Another ex, Séverine L., said he made joking remarks about a body near a burned farm and ways to erase evidence, while the defense argued such comments were bluster and not admissions.
