In an exclusive interview, the new lawyer of Cédric Jubillar, Pierre Debuisson, has called upon two renowned legal professionals to assist in the defense of the painter-plasterer facing retrial for the murder of his wife, Delphine. These experts include his father, Guy Debuisson, and the criminal lawyer from the Lille bar, Frank Berton.
Five months before the second trial of Cédric Jubillar (scheduled for September 21, 2026, in Toulouse), his new lawyer, Me Pierre Debuisson, is building his defense team. He has enlisted two lawyers from Toulouse and Lille to join the legal proceedings.
Guy Debuisson, 72 years old with over 40 years of experience, officially enters the case alongside his son. Frank Berton, a 64-year-old lawyer from Lille known for high-profile cases like Outreau and Florence Cassez, strengthens the legal duo.
The trio now has five months to analyze a 16,000-page dossier and navigate the complexities of the case. Pierre Debuisson emphasizes the importance of legal principles that seem to be fading in society.
The upcoming retrial of Cédric Jubillar for the murder of his wife, Delphine, is set to begin on September 21, 2026, in Toulouse. He has maintained his innocence since the disappearance of his wife in December 2020, despite being sentenced to 30 years in prison in the previous trial.
Cédric Jubillar has been in solitary confinement since June 18, 2021, with no changes in his conditions. His lawyer criticizes the administration’s justification for his isolation as “purely fallacious” and points out the challenges in preparing a defense under such circumstances.
The legal battle surrounding Jubillar’s isolation includes medical concerns, with his lawyer expressing criticism over the impact of prescribed medications on his client during the trial in Albi.
