JUSTICE – See you in 2025 for the legal consequences of this highly publicized news item. The Toulouse Court of Appeal confirmed this Thursday, September 26, the referral of Cédric Jubillar to the assizes for the murder of his wife Delphine in December 2020, following the requisitions of the general prosecutor’s office, according to lawyers in the case.
“The Court of Appeal has just rendered its decision, Cédric Jubillar is referred to the Assize Court to answer for the crime of intentional homicide of his wife”declared Me Alexandre Martin, one of the accused’s lawyers.
Incarcerated for more than three years and indicted on June 18, 2021, Cédric Jubillar is being prosecuted for the murder of his partner Delphine on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020.
In this case without a body, no confession, no witness, no crime scene, no irrefutable evidence, the investigators are convinced that Cédric Jubillar killed her, when she had just announced her intention to divorce.
Three and a half years in prison
The trial should be held before the Tarn Assize Court in 2025, according to a judicial source.
“We cannot wait, this man has been incarcerated for three and a half years, that the court refuses, in defiance of the presumption of innocence, to release this man”affirmed Me Martin, a few minutes after learning of the judgment of the investigating chamber of the court of appeal.
The lawyer, who defends the 37-year-old painter-plasterer along with Emmanuelle Franck and Jean-Baptiste Alary, described the court’s ruling as “catalog of elements put forward by the prosecution but it is absolutely not a demonstration of the genesis of a crime”.
Nurse and mother of two children, Delphine Jubillar had disappeared in Cagnac-les-Mines, near Albi, in the middle of a curfew linked to the Covid-19 pandemic.
