William Balfour

Not one. Not two. But three. That’s how many consecutive life sentences William Balfour, the man who was convicted of murdering three members of Jennifer Hudson‘s family in Chicago back in 2008, will serve.

As if Jennifer Hudson and her family didn’t have enough trauma following the brutal murders of her mother, brother and nephew, the case may not be closed just yet.  Shortly after the closure the Hudsons were finally able to achieve when William Balfour was found guilty, Balfour is now requesting a new trial in the case.
