BREAKING: Jennifer Hudson’s Brother-In-Law William Balfour ARRESTED For Murders
It was just reported that William Balfour–the estranged brother-in-law of Jennifer Hudson, was arrested for the murders of Jennifer’s mother, brother, and nephew. It’s been over a month since the horrific murders took place in the Hudson family home, and William Balfour had previously been held as a suspect and for violating parole. He was never charged or officially arrested before.
But tonight, Chicago police have just officially charged and arrested William Balfour in the murders of the Hudson family. Story still breaking….

Even if the evidence is not enough, which I hope it is. He will answer to the man above. I hope he rots in HELL. It was 1 thing to kill the adults but, to kill a baby mkes him nothing but the devil. Much love to the Hudson family & God bless u all.

They may be criminals but they don’t play when it comes to people who hurt children and the elderly. Justice will be served. I hope J’s sister doesn’t turn this into a lifetime movie. Her and her friends want to be in the spotlight.

On Dec 1, 2008 at 7:02 pm | Reply | QuoteNot sure how I really feel about this news. I think they are just charging him because his parole hearing is on Wed and they need to do something with the case. However, what happened to the person that drove his car away from the Hudson home, who they have on tape at the high school the car was left in front of? How could the SUV get parked on a Saturday in front of the old couples house? It was not found until Monday and the baby was in the back seat dead? Too many questions for me to feel that this case has been solved. And we know that if there are others involved, he wont tell or should I say snitch! Prayers for peace and comfort for the Hudson family.

On Dec 1, 2008 at 7:15 pm | Reply | QuoteYou know I remember listening to his ignorant mother trying to defend his past carjacking/attempted murder conviction saying that he didn’t car jack,he was just stealing the car and the owner jumped on top of the car and started choking “my son”. How dumb is that? So this maniac just kept driving trying to make the man fall off the car. He rammed into light poles and just went on a vehicular rampage. He is totally crazy. Has to be a crackhead and full of venom and resentment because he probably felt entitled to some of Jennifer’s money. Once he was kicked out of the family, he decided with his dumb behind to get back at them all. I believe he killed that baby in cold blood because he wanted to hurt the mom. Even though Julia is a little odd, I know this hurts. He accomplished his goal. He probably knew he would end up in prison anyway like his dad, but he wante to make the Hudsons suffer because he knew with Jennifer’s future they would all live better than he would once he was out of the fold and he couldn’t let it go.

On Dec 1, 2008 at 7:23 pm | Reply | QuoteI have a sister with a boyfriend that is a crack head. She moved him into my mother’s house and he is big trouble. He works on cars in my mother’s yard and rips off his customers some of whom are drug dealers. I got proof of his theivery. When one of these thugs came to Mama’s house raising hell about being rippe off and threatening to come back with fire power. I confronted my sister about him. I also had a friend of mine who works with the District Attorney to look up this creep’s criminal record. It was a mile long. When my mother told me about some choice steaks she was marinating for a Sunday cook out being stolen from her freezer, I told her what I knew about this guy. She refused to believe me and demaded written proof. My friend from the DA’s office printed out the criminal info and gave it to my mother in an envelope after church one Sunday. She took the information to my sister and my sister cursed me out and told me as far as she was concerned I was no longer her sister. She won’t let me in the house - stands at the door blocking me out. My mother just lets sleeping dogs lie and has nothing to do with me anymore.
I have a bad feeling about that guy and I just don’t go over there anymore. I have a 12 year old son and I am afraid the ball is going to drop. If they ever do a raid on Mama’s house, I don’t want to be there.
Closer to my dreams!

Its okay if it takes time to officially charge someone, as long as you get it right. Sounds like some due diligence was done!!! Remember, there’s no statute of limitations on homicide. Just get it right the first time b/c there is a such thing as double jeopardy!!!

On Dec 1, 2008 at 9:52 pm | Reply | QuoteThe evidence on the crack head was this. My father was a skilled carpenter and cabinet maker. He had a lot of specialized expensive carpentry tools in a workshop in the back of the house. He specifically told me to make sure that after he was gone (he knew he was dying) to have the tools appraised and sold. He didn’t have a fortune or anything but it was a small legacy for me and my 3 sisters. He also was a hunter and had a lot of nice rifles.
After he died, my sister and her boyfriend kept Daddy’s shop locked up from us, claiming to be handling the appraisal. The evidence was a huge amount of documentation of pawn shop transactions (Daddy’s tools).
There was no way a shade tree mechanic would have had those kind of tools.
I fault my mother though because she is an enabler. I can’t be there. I don’tknow what Julia Hudson’s issues were and the bottom line is Balfour is the real criminal, but people have to draw a line in the sand and ifthe crooks won’t leave, then we have to.
