Jennifer Hudson's Brother in Law Charged for Family Slayings

I mean who does this? this is pretty sick. And I feel horrible for Jennifer Hudsons family. I don't see why a person who is connected to the family do that! I mean.. that's just a horrible act to pull as a family member. Especially shooting a mother, a son, and a young nephew. they still all had so much life to live! It's been more than a month since the shooting deaths of Jennifer Hudson's mother, brother and nephew, but the case is picking up steam.

A day after his arrest, Hudson's estranged brother-in-law, William Balfour, was formally charged this morning with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of home invasion by the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.

The 27-year-old Balfour, who has been the sole focus of the Chicago Police Department's investigation from day one, is scheduled to appear for a bond hearing Wednesday afternoon.

Until then, Balfour's attorney, Joshua Kutnick, is wasting no time in defending his client, telling E! News that while Balfour may be a convenient suspect, he's not a guilty one.

"They were under pressure because William is scheduled for a parole hearing tomorrow and, if successful, he would have been released," Kutnick said.

"The police have built this case on what some people may say...I strongly contend that these witnesses that are giving information to the police are not to be believed. They are self-serving statements."

Among those statements, presumably, are some given by Balfour's girlfriend, who not only told police he owned a weapon resembling the .45-caliber gun tied to the shootings but that he even confessed to her he had committed the murders.

Balfour has been held in custody since Oct. 26, two days after the tragic murders.
