On Friday June 18, the public prosecutor indicted Cédric Jubillar for the “aggravated murder” of his wife Delphine. A qualification of the facts denounced by his lawyer Jean-Baptiste Alary. In an interview granted to our colleagues from Ouest-France, the latter returns at length to this accusation which he judges ” inconsistent “. The lawyer speaks of a case ” void of evidence “, with elements that ” don’t hold up “.
However, to ensure the defense of his client, Jean-Baptiste Alary will be supported by ” two Toulouse criminal law firms “. That’s five lawyers in total. But is Cédric Jubillar entitled to have so many lawyers? ” Yesanswers Maître Carine Delaby-Faure, lawyer at the bar of Lille, nothing prevents you from choosing several lawyers “.
For the record, in the 1970s, Robert Badinter used to plead alongside the lawyer of a defendant who risked capital punishment. ” He
only intervened on the death penalty aspect. And this until it obtains its abolition “, recalls Carine Delaby-Faure, who rubbed shoulders with him in the Patrick Henry file.
However, some defenders do not like to “share” their files and a defense with several voices can create a certain cacophony. ” But sometimes young lawyers just want to be supported in certain cases and ask for help from a
coworker “explains the lawyer.
In the same way as the defendants or the accused, the civil parties can also be represented by several lawyers. Beware, however, of administrative bottlenecks: during the investigation, the files must then be sent in several copies… ” But generally, a lawyer centralizes for the others “recalls Carine Delaby-Faure.
