Balfour May Be Released Monday

Posted by Bossip Staff

The one and only murder suspect for the JHud case, William Balfour, may be released on Monday:

Balfour, who’s only being held on a parole violation in a case unrelated to the murders, could “conceivably” skate if there’s not enough evidence to prove he did violate his parole. He’s scheduled to face the Illinois State Parole Review Board Monday at 9:00 AM. The only way authorities could keep Balfour in custody is if they officially charge him for the Hudson killings between now and Monday, or if they find that he did violate his parole. Thus far, no other suspect has been named in the triple murder of Jennifer Hudson’s mother, brother, and nephew.

Looks like this was a well planned execution. We do not know what to believe in this case anymore. If he walks, what does that mean for the case? We all know how inept police work is after the first 72 hours of the crime.

    Y is it when something happens to a celebrity or their family *****ody knows whats going on including the police? Im not understanding how noone is coming forth with information. Somebody had to see something!

  8. sexy momma

    This is what happened. The sister and her man planned this out together. Motive(1) He didn’t want to be with her, because the were living pay check to pay check while jennifer is living life, so they wanted to come up. Motive(2) William and the mother kept getting into it(remember she put him out) and he had enough went at the mother, and jason jumped in for his mom, and william did a lil pay back. Motive(3) William didn’t want to be with Julia anymore, because he was sick of her family, so what do they do kill them all(didn’t kill Jennifer, because she is not around anymore). Motive(4) Julia wanted to do whatever she could to get rid of her family so it could be just her and William which means they can live good because they will now have insurance money.

    Just saying, but lets watch and see.

  9. I GOT IT LIKE THAT

    ^^ COSIGN

  10. Flawdagurl

    All this time wasted and the real killer may be gone without a trace, hell he may be right under there noises!


  11. @sexy momma

    how do you know all of that?????!!!!

  12. NextTopModel

    they should question her sister. somethhin aint right….

  13. Flawdagurl

    @ sexy momma

    I dont think they planned it together especially when his girlfriend was his alliby. This type of work was done by someone who knows them all very well. Why kill your son for the insurance money when the mom and brother was already dead! nothing makes sense about this whole ordeal.

  14. Flawdagurl

    Im with Next Top Model!! She is the only who can help at this time.Wher was she when this happened anyway?

  15. Apo6

    Sexy momma you make no sense. He knows who did it, or helped in it but its more to the story, and the sister knows whas up.

  16. Marie

    jenifer’s best friend is putting beyonce on blast claiming she didnt call or attend the funeral. i wouldn’t be surprised if he is trying to attack beyonce so that beyonces will flop and jenifer’s album can continue to sell well. jenifer is too gracious to insult people like this friend of hers. he needs to worry about something else and quit hating

  17. blaq

    So no prints on the gun they found? Honestly ***** B looks a bit retarded, BUT he could be smart enough to pull this off. Anyone who has ever been the neighbor of a ghetto ***** couple like Big J and ***** B know about threats. My former neighbors threatened to kill each other, the kids, the dog on a weekly basis, the police calls and restraining orders were more like foreplay. So honestly the motive is not very strong IMO, Her suspect ***** brother may have outed one of his butt buddies and we know homosexuality in the black community is not accepted. Honestly Jason appears to be more of the target than Julia. But if he did do it, it’s the perfect murder, his prints and DNA are already in the house, he’s shacked up with a girlfriend so it take some weight out of the vengeful husband aspect, and if he did commit the murders why would he stay so close to Jason’s body and the murder weapon. Because he’s and idiot? Hell no, because he’s been in jail long enough to learn how to orchestrate a murder. Or someone else was smart enough to kill them and leave a trail to Balfour.

    Keep his ***** in jail!!!

  19. Sydney

    This has to be on of the stranger crime stories I’ve read in a while. . .Why is this woman still posting photos, complete with childish captions, on My*****e after three members of her family — including her child — were murdered?

  20. Sydney

    *one of the stranger*

  21. Angela

    though the cops may incompetent 72 hours after the fact, ghetto murderers are the worst about running their damn mouths and bragging to everybody about what and who they did. give it time. the cops won’t have to do anything except keep their ears open. it will all come out.

  22. geico lizard

    damn “blaq” how did you turn this story about 3 murders into a black man being on the DL? if black women would focus more on their relationships and children their lives would be better stop trying to accuse every black man of being gay. if you were happy with your life you wouldnt have time to go around trying to start lies and rumors about people you have never met. we see wendy williams is consumed with trying to find who is gay and who isnt and now we know its because she is in a marriage with a an abuser and a cheater and her surgeries show she is also not happy with the way she looks. why would you want to be anything like her? she doesnt like herself so she tries to make others feel bad. obama being elected in this country that only 4 years ago elected someone like gw bush should give you some pride to be happy with who you are inside.

  23. Lori E.

    Didn’t they find the murder weapon???????

  24. Yvonne

    I am notgoing to comment on this until Monday to see what happens with William, unless something breaks over the weekend.

    I do hope they find out who did this whether it is William or not.

  25. NextTopModel

    we should find out. they havent really said where she was during the murders…

    hmmm

  26. blaq

    @ geico

    you read too much into it. I am far from a person looking to out someone. I was stating possible scenario’s the gay theory was just one of them. Honestly what is the motive? I just don’t think it’s Domestic Violence. You can check me out I am far from a negative person, I always defend the black man and woman. I have nothing against Gay people, I think they should be able to get married, I don’t believe rumors about Will, and Eddie Murphy, Tyson and so on. I don’t feel that because a brother isn’t thugged out he must be gay, you have got me completely *****ed up. I am just pointing out that the police in their hast may be overlooking the real killer and motive. But that’s okay I still love ya, and have deep sadness for this family and I don’t think in the realm of Julia being suspected by the majority of Bossip posters I have really started a rumor.

  27. blaq

    @ Geico

    and the stereotype about Black women not concentrating on their children and relationships is really tired. My child can read and write and do addition, and he’s 3. And my man is all I could ask for, but thanks for your concern

  28. NextTopModel

    N E WAYZ BACK TO UGLY DUDE.

    honestly i think he’s innocent. Of course police question the con first. I definately believe it was someone qlose to them, possibly another disgruntled family member.

    Maybe that “bird that flew over the coocoo’s nest” sister of hers.

    and for god’s sake

    WHERE IS JULIANS FATHER????!!!!


  29. that dumb ***** sister had something to do with it

    the lil boy was killed so they could start a new life without himdammmmm some people will do anything for a dolla

    but to take the life of someone and to kill or have your offspring killed is *****ing crazy

    big fat black *****

    she probobly killed her own son…I really believe she killed her own son

    I believe black bozo looking ***** killed her mother and brother…if not he was there and wasn the way someone else got into the house without any forced entry

  30. candigurl

    WOW! I bet Julia is happy to hear that. I bet she missin’ her some Killer! LOL! ;)

    It really scares me though as to what may have actually happened.

    If he didn’t have anything to do with this, then I really do feel sorry for him. That man is ENEMY #1! You can’t go around killing the folks of the one Dreamgirl that was good and expect to just walk away.

  31. Bringthanoize

    @ sexy momma

    I had almost that same feeling(#4) that Julia and William may have planned this out so that Jennifer would only have them to spoil w/ her mom, son and brother out of the way leaving only Julia as the sole immediate family survivor able to be spoiled by Jenny for life out of grief- a come up. * I hope this isn’t true though.

    Julia, as ststed on my*****e, was jealous of Jenny- who spoiled Julian & her mom but not Julia(William) and Will had run ins w/ the family giving motives and opprotunity. Julia has aslo said on my*****e that her mom liked her brother and Jenny more than her and that her son was a burden on her lifestyle.

    Btw- Jenny needs to ditch the DL lifestyle brother Punk before she gets the package(HIV/AIDs).

    The picture is very good ,I am Grace, a beautiful woman from US. i am just at the begining of my career and want to seek a rich and mature man for support, maybe to be my sugar daddy..where should i start?? maybe here.. i also uploaded my hot photos on the famous service ***a g e l e s s c a.c o m*** under the name MissGreenEyes, maybe you want to check out my photos!

    The $hit has to hit the fan before 9am Monday or Willie walks.

    Scenario #1). I believe Julia needs to fess up regarding what she knows. I feel either William/Julia set the table for something (other than m***** murder) to go down (maybe kidnapping and extortion)… unfortunately, the unknown thugs (who did the dirty work) decided to take out the entire family. Think about it, William was taken into custody Friday night, but Julian’s body (who police believe was killed in the Suburban) wasn’t found til Monday. The police have never given a tentative Time of Death for Julian… if it’s after Friday night then their case is screwed (if it was Friday afternoon or early evening, Balfour would have already been under the jail). A couple of witnesses said they saw that SUV driving around that neighborhood on Saturday (while Willie was locked up), so Willie may walk.

    Scenario #2). Jason’s past came back to haunt them… the day after Jason died someone placed on his my*****e page some $hit like: ‘R.I.P. – it was long overdue!’ This $hit could have been a drug hit.

    Either way, I don’t blame Jennifer for hiding out in Oprah’s penthouse cause on one hand there’s your sister.. the other a drug hit (both are equally dangerous). Furthermore, this may sound cruel but if I were Jen, I’d call my Insurance agent and remove Julia as a beneficiary (take away any temptation).

    Finally, Jennifer needs offer up $250-$500K to get folks in the hood talking and this case off of ice.

    JHud, you’re in my prayers.

  34. Flawdagurl

    It just doesnt make sense on why the sister would have all of them killed when none of them had money except for J-hud. How is killing them going to get her money. Dumb ***** was gonna get money regardlesss from her sister. Thats too much hurt and pain over dollars you aint guranteed!

  35. tishums

    I think William flipped out early in the am before Julia left and he killed the mom after fighting with and killing the brother. Julia then wanted to protect her man so she grabbed her son and they left trying to figure out what the heck to do with Julian who had witnessed the whole thing. Julia was now an accomplice (willing) and didn’t want to spend time in jail for aiding and abetting or maybe even parti*****ting…(I’m blurry on how deep her actual involvement was). Anyway, they then felt that had to do something about the son so he/she/they killed him to eliminate a witness. William was picked up and he hasn’t told on Julia yet (though the police know and are building a case) so she feels torn. Her family is gone and the man she loves is “protecting her”. Perhaps this is why her my*****e looks the way it does. She’s a little simple to top it off…(Sorry). Just my theory…One more thing, Jen needs to run from Punk – I’m sorry that the main person comforting her now is a gay fame w*****. She deserves better…

  36. Nita

    My opinion:

    1) Balfour didn’t do it

    2) Julia has a vague idea who did it

    2a) Julia was in the wrong to make out like she believed it was possible Balfour did it

    3) It’s somebody connected with (or rather, against) Jason/Black Gangster Disciples… probably.

    So, why didn’t Beyonce call? Even New York had nothing but love for Jennifer.

    Accusing Beyonce in order to make her album flop sounds suspect. Beyonce is usually good about trying to appear caring, though, so I don’t understand why Beyonce wouldn’t try to console Jennifer. It’s not her fault Matthew and Tina are two of the most scheming a$$e$ on the planet. That’s not Beyonce. Sounds like garbled messages reaching the public. At least, I hope this is garbled.

  40. Film

    I’m not astonished at all with these women who date/marry someone with the parallelisms of William Balfour. I just can’t fathom it. But, when is this mentality that’s spreading like ripples through water going to cease. At the end of day, I realize it’s personal preference. Just don’t get upset when a convicted felon smashes your head against the wall.

    I will not say Balfour committed these heinous crimes because I don’t know. This is still an unsolved mystery.


  41. shut the hell up all you peopele>

  42. Razzell Dazzell

    No way! This man should not be allowed to be aroound humans.

  43. STOP TRIPPING!

    that fat ***** is psychotic and crazy. she knows who kill her family. sick damn people.

  44. about it

    If Balfour is released, he is a dead man. He has been appointed to take the fall.

    This is an extremely high profile case, if the DA is talking about releasing him, then after 2 weeks, they don’t have evidence.

    Jason moved back there, he had been residing elsewhere. He had trouble in Gary, IN, that was where he was shot. It is also why the FBI was called. Jason was into his own ***** and Julia may have had a side piece of it, but the target was Jason. To be shot with your own gun is an old time gangsta way of payin’ back a “double cross”. Also, if the little boy’s hands were cut off (I hope that wasn’t true), then that would indicate that a theft of drugs, guns, etc. was involved. Again, big ol’ Lake Michigan right there and the gun is in an alley. There were too many messages sent in these murders, almost like c*****ography. Balfour doesn’t have the brains to pull something like this off.

  45. 1TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals rented the one room no one wouldn't; scratchy towels and all!!!!!!!!

    I’m not surprised. I also wouldn’t be surprised if this young man was found shot to death, either!

    Oh well. They didn’t find Tupac or Biggie’s murderers. What made me hope they’s find the killers of a 7 year old?

    Wishful thinking, I guess.

  46. 1TruDiva w/The PlatinumVocals rented the last room--scratchy towels and all!!!!!!!!

    Oooops!

    Name correction!!!

    Gosh, it’s been a loooooooong time since I’ve seen that SN or that gravie.

    Welcome back!!

  48. 100%

    He better run far and quick!!!!!

  49. sickofitt

    This whole thing is heart-breaking. We can all draw conclusion of what may have occurred. What so disheartening is that someone could gun down a 7 year old. What has the world come to where people get down like this? The sister is looking a little suspect to me as well. I would hate to think a mother, daugher, sister could help plot something like this, but something just ain’t right. When I saw the press conference I got an uneasy feeling from her. Her comment was in so many words, “If you got problems with me, then deal with me.” And, everything she’s doing is not a reflection of a mother who just had their little one gunned down. I would be sick with grief because I was not there to protect my child. How do you loose your family like that and still find time to post pictures on My*****e, WTF?

    If William had something to do with it, I don’t think baby boy will be around long if he is released.

  50. nana

    marie you’re talking bull***** the friends only said that he was sick and tired of all the media saying that beyonce was at the funeral when she didnt even call,text or email and he doenst think its fair as she didnt even bother when everybody else did especially because jennifer has always been a big fan of hers..and the friend is right…duuuh….

    and what’s going on with this i dont understand??????????????why is he being released???omg

  51. blair

    Lord please watch and protect jhud. RUN RUN RUN!

  52. BKLYNZ OWN

    WOORD!! THE ONLY WAY THIS CASE COULD BE SOLVED IS IF A WITNESS COME FORTH..I WATCH THE FIRST 48,AND THERES NO EVIDENCE BUT THE GUN.SO THEY NEED WITNESSES.NO BODY COMING FORTH,SO THIS MIGHT BE SOME HOOD ***** OR SOME GANG *****.UNLESS A WITNESS TESTIFY,THIS CASE MIGHT GO COLD.LETS HOPE NOT.

  53. spinner 22

    If they do let him go i sure hope they keep on watch!

  54. bapbarbie

    The police knows that if they let Balfour go, he’s a dead man!!! Believe it or not, he would be safer if he confessed to the crimes and stayed in jail. Does anybody really think that he can walk around his neighborhood freely now. Yeah right. There’s going to be some dude who has nothing to lose that will end his life and the police know it. It’ll be a case of street justice and the police will pretend to investigate his killer and eventually close the case.


  55. where are the morals of the family, why are jennifers sister and boyfriend living in her mothers house without being married my parents would never allow that in thier house, why isn’t the boyfriend on a job? people we must stop all this foolishness and get real! Was the sister that hard up for a man to take anything that looked at her? trifling just trifling.

  56. Mizz Understood

    I’m really starting to believe that Julia set her family up!!!! I may be wrong, but judging from her my*****e page she is acting rather strange. The real truth is going to eventually come out but the cops need to keep a close eye on her as I am sure they all ready are.

    More like, Balfour doesn’t have motive.

    But yep, everything you say fits together. And again, as I said earlier, Julia is in the wrong to go along with folks claims that William did it. There will always be something eerie, creepy and juvenile about that, to me. Did she think she was protecting her brother or her son, to do that, though? Is she that crippled mentally to go along to get along even if it means allowing someone to be accused of a crime they didn’t commit? Or did she really believe William was capable of doing something like this enough to NOT say emphatically, ‘William’s a lot of things, but not this’?

    Damn her brother for bringing that ***** into his mother’s house, into his nephew’s house. It’s too late now, though. I hope he made peace with his god.

    We got to do better: mothers’ don’t allow this type of ***** in your home. I wonder how many bills the brother was paying for the mama and Julia. Or if he was the exact opposite, a total deadbeat. Who did the brother cross, and why?

    RIP Julian

  59. Chitown

    Im from the southside of chicago so good luck tryin to get some *****s in Englewood to talk (I certainly dont blame them). There are definitely holes in this story. Anyone from the hood or is hood literate can see the truth from a mile away. This case was drug related PERIOD. According to everybody on that block, Jason Hudson just sat on the block all day and was so fat, happy and friendly? Nah..he was the dope boy and Williams was more than likely involved too. They probably used Jennifer Hudson’s money to cop a large amount of dope to take over the trade of the neighboorhood and they screwed it all up. And whoever they were dealing wit sent his people to kill the family off and send a message. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jennifer knows who did it. Julia sure as hell does. Although we shouldn’t judge but this being such a highly publicized and high profile case the public can’t help but speculate. Unfortunatley the Hudson family were just some regular old ghetto ***** *****s. The Chicago Tribune reported that Jason moved back home 2 years ago after he got shot in a home invasion and almost died then. Home invasion? Who would rob a house in broke ***** Englewood unless you know there’s dope there? And Balfours record is the obvious. Yall do the math. Ms. Donnerson more than likely knew what was going on in her home, and Julia knew what type of dude she had but they turned the blind eye. These are good people but these were clearly bad decisions that unfortunately cost them their lives. This is a horrible tragedy but this was not some random senseless act. I personally don’t think Balfour was that broken up about Julia’s fat ***** that he would kill her entire family. But he sure as hell knows who did it. And Im sure he wont talk so if he has to be the fall guy, i dont feel sorry for his *****. My heart just goes out to that poor baby. I just hope he did not suffer


  60. GOD WILL CONVICT THE CULPRIT AND HE OR SHE WILL BURN IN HELL FOR ETERNITY.

  61. Sara

    I totally agree with Chitown…. it makes sense!

  62. just an observation

    @ Chitown

    I agree!! I stay out west and this some similar ***** happened to my fam. My uncle was on drugs and he stole somebody’s drugs so they came in the dead of winter and broke EVERY damn window out my grandma’s house, waited for that negro to come outside and told him that he had 48 hours to come up with they money or they were coming inside and spraying everybody. They don’t play with their money! I told y’all from the beginning that this was a DRUG MURDER! ***** like this happens everyday in the hood. Jennifer Hudson is GHETTO as *****! Ask anyone that went to Dunbar with her rude *****! I remember when she was on American Idol, my co-workers went to Dunbar and they hated her *****… One girl said she wasn’t allowed to visit her cousin at their grandmother’s house b/c her grandmother didn’t allow Jennifer in their house. They also talked about how Jason was a drug dealer that got chased off the block and Julia was a sloppy ho. This was back in 04… Don’t let that Hollywood ***** fool y’all… Poor Julian but ***** the rest of them… That hood ***** ain’t cute no more…

  63. up on it!

    They realy need to check Julia out.

  64. up on it!

    They realy need to check Julia out.
