Sorry to start off on a downer, but thought you might be interested to know…
William Balfour, the only suspect so far to be charged in the murders of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother and nephew, was denied bail on Wednesday 3 December. Reports state Balfour’s defense lawyer argued the evidence against him was circumstantial.
Balfour, 27 who was separated from the singer’s sister Julia, was charged with three counts of murder and one count of home invasion in connection with the deaths of Darnell Donerson, Jason Hudson and Julian King.
Prosecutors believe Balfour killed the three family members due to him being angry his estranged wife was dating another man. Multiple witnesses claim to have seen him with a gun and heard him say he had a weapon. It was also documented gunshot residue was found on the steering wheel of the car, that they claim he had driven the morning of the murders.
Balfour is due back in court for a bail infringement hearing on December 10. If he's found to have breached his bail, he will have to serve out the remainder of a term on attempted-murder, carjacking and stolen-property charges through May 2009.
Judge Raymond Myles has set the next hearing in the Hudson murders case for December 30.
Whether Balfour is guilty or not, I just hope the person who committed these sad killings are found guilty and the key is thrown well away.
